    Hey,
    I know you have edited your thread, but if the problem still exists, I always use the the Power of the Psalms to take me out of disturbing situations. When St Yostos used to recite the Pslams in his room of the monestary, his dwelling was filled with light and incense, showing the wonder of the Pslams.

    Psalm 142
    A Contemplation of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave.
    1 I cry out to the LORD with my voice;
            With my voice to the LORD I make my supplication.
    2 I pour out my complaint before Him;
            I declare before Him my trouble.
           
    3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
            Then You knew my path.
            In the way in which I walk
            They have secretly set a snare for me.
    4 Look on my right hand and see,
            For there is no one who acknowledges me;
            Refuge has failed me;
            No one cares for my soul.
           
    5 I cried out to You, O LORD:
            I said, “You are my refuge,
            My portion in the land of the living.
    6 Attend to my cry,
            For I am brought very low;
            Deliver me from my persecutors,
            For they are stronger than I.
    7 Bring my soul out of prison,
            That I may praise Your name;
            The righteous shall surround me,
            For You shall deal bountifully with me.”

    Psalm 27
    A Psalm of David.
    1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
            Whom shall I fear?
            The LORD is the strength of my life;
            Of whom shall I be afraid?
    2 When the wicked came against me
            To eat up my flesh,
            My enemies and foes,
            They stumbled and fell.
    3 Though an army may encamp against me,
            My heart shall not fear;
            Though war may rise against me,
            In this I will be confident.
           
    4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
            That will I seek:
            That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
            All the days of my life,
            To behold the beauty of the LORD,
            And to inquire in His temple.
    5 For in the time of trouble
            He shall hide me in His pavilion;
            In the secret place of His tabernacle
            He shall hide me;
            He shall set me high upon a rock.
           
    6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
            Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
            I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
           
    7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
            Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
    8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
            My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
    9 Do not hide Your face from me;
            Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
            You have been my help;
            Do not leave me nor forsake me,
            O God of my salvation.
    10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
            Then the LORD will take care of me.
           
    11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
            And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
    12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
            For false witnesses have risen against me,
            And such as breathe out violence.
    13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
            That I would see the goodness of the LORD
            In the land of the living.
           
    14 Wait on the LORD;
            Be of good courage,
            And He shall strengthen your heart;
            Wait, I say, on the LORD!

    Psalm 30
    A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David.
    1 I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up,
            And have not let my foes rejoice over me.
    2 O LORD my God, I cried out to You,
            And You healed me.
    3 O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave;
            You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
           
    4 Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His,
            And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
    5 For His anger is but for a moment,
            His favor is for life;
            Weeping may endure for a night,
            But joy comes in the morning.
           
    6 Now in my prosperity I said,
            “I shall never be moved.”
    7 LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
            You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
           
    8 I cried out to You, O LORD;
            And to the LORD I made supplication:
    9 “What profit is there in my blood,
            When I go down to the pit?
            Will the dust praise You?
            Will it declare Your truth?
    10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;
            LORD, be my helper!”
           
    11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
            You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
    12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
            O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
