Success

Lord, please save us! Lord, please let us succeed! ~ Psalm 118:25 (CEB)

God gives peace... I pray that God will make you ready to obey him and that you will always be eager to do right. May Jesus help you do what pleases God. To Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever! Amen. ~ from Hebrews 13:20,21 (CEV)
Lord, there is no genuine success apart from you. I can't even do the right thing on my own. I know what you expect of me and I want to do right. Help me to please you. Above all else that is what I want to do. I'm defining success in my life by how pleasing I am to you. You are worthy of my effort. So I'm going to move forward, trusting that you will turn my weaknesses into strengths that miraculously bring glory to Christ. Amen.
