In Times of Success and Failure
Great God,
Help us to have faith that neither success nor failure will
separate us from your love.
In our success, cause us to understand that what we achieve, we
could lose.
In our failure, make us to perceive that tomorrow is a new day,
and give us a humble heart to appreciate those days that
are yet
to come.
Promise us that your requirements are a clean conscience,
a loving spirit, and a forgiving heart.
Amen.
