Interesting piece in general.  I'm not sure how one makes the leap from bikesh Yaakov leishev bshalvah to that he prayed for this result. Isn't it human nature to "long for" tranquility  even though we understand that we play the cards we're dealt.  For that matter tranquility may be defined based on Yaakov's bracha to Yisachar " 14 Issachar is a large-boned ass, couching down between the sheep-folds. 15 For he saw a resting-place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task-work "  as I heard from R' Nissan Alpert ZT"L - what's the transition between the first half of 15 and the second?  the Jewish definition of fulfillment -using your powers as HKB"H wants is true tranquility.
