O Ever-understanding Lover,I have grown up in a world
which is addicted to success,
which places halos on those
who achieve fame and fortune.
Free me, I pray, from this addiction.
Guide my hand to lift up to you
all the harvest that may come
from the labor of my hands this day.
Help me to dedicate to you
the results of all I do.
And by offering to you the fruit of my labor,
may the words of your servant, St. Paul,
become a guiding compass for me:
“Whatever you eat,
whatever you drink
whatever you do at all,
do it for the glory of God.”
May I thus fully surrender
the success or failure of my work;
they now belong to you
and to you alone.
May I find my pleasure not in the prize
of my work’s successful completion
or my pain in the shame of its failure,
for my joy is in toiling for your glory.
Fix my heart firmly only upon the work at hand
and not upon the final product,
whether it be victory or defeat.
Let my delight
be only in the task before me,
for to you, my God,
I dedicate the fruits of all my acts.
—Edward Hays, Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim
