Praying Each Day in May

[MajestyJo]

What really counts is the effort we put into
something to make it our own best. My
“success” and “achievement” can only be
measured against my own potential.

Let us pray:

Lord, I ask that you inspire me
always to do my best
- not comparing myself with others,
but only with myself.
Lead me, Lord,
to discover and use
my own talents to the full.
May I live in such a way
that I help others
to experience success.
Inspire me to be generous
in praising others
for the good use of their abilities
- looking not so much
at the degree of achievement
but at the effort put in. Amen.
