Prayer to Saint Anthony for Lost Things
Saint Anthony of Padua, faithful servant of God, you are invoked by many when something important has been lost. Intercede for me as I search for (mention what is lost).
Grant me patience, clear thinking, and peace. If it is God's will, help me recover what I seek; above all, help me never lose faith, charity, or hope. Amen.

Praying and searching calmly
The devotion is associated with a lost book of Psalms containing Saint Anthony's notes. After he prayed, the novice who had taken it returned it. This tradition encourages intercession, not magical expectations.
Pause and remember when you last used the object. Pray for calm and attention, then search systematically, ask others, and avoid accusing anyone without evidence. The deeper request is that losing something material will not make you lose faith, honesty, or peace.
