Say this prayer for nine days for anything you may desire. Then let go and let God. Trust that whatever is the outcome of your novena is truly what is best for you in accordance with the will of God:
O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.
O St. Joseph, assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord; so that having engaged here below your heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers.
O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. AmenO St. Joseph, hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. (Mention your intentions.)
O St. Joseph, pray for me. Amen.
