A Prayer to Stay Grounded in Moments of Success | Your Daily Prayer

Dear Jesus,
Not to us, but to Your name, Jesus, be the glory in all of our successes past, present, and future. You are worthy to receive all the glory and honor and power! Help us to shine our lights before others so that they would not see us but that they would see You and praise You. May our victories in this world be testimonies of the goodness of Your salvation and provision. Thank you for unique callings, skills, and dreams. Help us to cultivate them and set new goals to achieve. Remind us, though, in planning and pursuing that we ultimately are here to praise You. We lay our platforms of work, family, service, and creativity down at Your feet. Thank you for entrusting each of us with unique callings and purposes. Help us to keep an eternal mindset as we pursue the callings in front of us.

Thank You for the opportunities to shine, but let our names be less and Your name be glorified. When we are asked about our success, help us to live by the Spirit and not our flesh in our responses. Give us the courage to redirect our victories to You and segue into gospel conversations with others who need to hear of the hope of heaven. Remind us that this is not about us, this life is not about making our names great, but about carrying our crosses and holding up the name of You, Jesus.

We praise You for humbling Yourself on the cross to have the ultimate moment of success in resurrecting Yourself from the dead. You and Only You, Jesus, are worthy to receive all glory and worship. You are the Lord of lords, the King of kings, and our Champion of heaven. We surrender to Your will and Your best for our lives. Whether we have success in the world’s eyes or success in Your eyes that no one ever celebrates on this earth, help us serve You above all.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
