Success
Give us success today, O Lord.
If we could make a profit in our business or make some gains in our productivity or have an idea for a new project or get recognized for our good work—well, that would be nice.
Mainly, though, Lord, give us success today in the areas that, based on the life and teachings of our Savior Jesus Christ, matter the most.
Give us success in loving you with all we are, in loving our neighbor as we love ourselves, in putting the needs of others ahead of our own, in giving ourselves up for the sake of the suffering and marginalized, in praying for our enemies, in forgiving those who harm us, and in trusting you in everything.
Give us peace in knowing that such success is seldom noticed by others and give us joy in knowing that such success is always noticed by you.
Amen.
