God of breath and life,
hold me in your arms.
Fill me with your Spirit
and
equip me to do the work you set before me.
That each day
and every step of my life,
though I will stumble
and surely at times fall,
I will carry on with perseverance.
Give me the wisdom
and abundant strength
to know
that the work I do
is not my own;
the responsibility I have
is never more than I can handle.
By, with and through
your unfailing love,
I can and will accomplish
all that I can.
Amen.
