1) A Prayer For One's Calling:
Jesus, Divine Caller of vocations,
You invite some to chosen professions,
Others to distinctive spiritual work!
Your call may reflect one's ambitions,
Or may be a command to a special calling.
Inspire me to always know within my heart,
What particular type of work is fitting
To do Your will at that particular time.
Your many callings vary immensely.
They are all reflections of Your Holiness.
Thank you for my heavenly calling and
For maintaining the vocation of Your choice!
2) PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH TO KNOW ONE'S VOCATION:
O Great Saint Joseph, you were completely obedient to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Obtain for me the grace to know the state of life that God in His providence has chosen for me. Since my happiness on earth, and perhaps even my final happiness in heaven, depends on this choice, let me not be deceived in making it.
Obtain for me the light to know God's Will, to carry it out faithfully, and to choose the vocation which will lead me to a happy eternity.
3) St. Francis of Assisi's Vocation Prayer:
Most High, Glorious God, enlighten the darkness of our minds. Give us a right faith, a firm hope and a perfect charity, so that we may always and in all things act according to Your Holy Will. Amen.

"Oh gentle God, You have called us to salvation and have sent Your Son to establish the Church for this purpose, and You have provided the Sacred Ministers.
The harvest is ever ready, but laboreres are scarce. Inspire our youth to follow Jesus in the priesthood and in religious life. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen." (from the "Pray Pray Pray" book compiled by Betsey M. War, p.490
"Oh Lord Jesus, You have asked us to pray for vocations, that there might be young men and women willing to give their lives joyfully for the sake of souls. Hear my prayer and the prayers of Your Church: send us good, faithful and holy priests, and religious. I offer You this day, all I shall think, do or say for this good intention. Amen" (from a prayer card I still have in my prayer books from my old Catholic days)
Hope these help.
