Oh God, as you throw blessings and successes my way
Let them not go into my mind and forget about your ability to build and tear down
Even as you anoint my head with oil
Let me not use the glossiness of my hair to bring people down
Even as you order my steps into riches
Let me not use my wealth consciously and unconsciously
To support and finance the activities of the world but your kingdom
Even as you give health to my muscles and strength to my bones
Let me not exhaust them on activities that bring kings to their fall and disgrace
Even as you grant me favour in your sight and men
Let me not abuse the favour to satisfy my whims and caprice but to push your agenda
Even as you plant me in good and loving relationships
Let me not be a kill joy and heart breaker to those relationships
Even as am surrounded by loving people
Let me not abhor those who hate me
Even as you have planted me in a family
Let me not despise and compare them to other families
Even as you have given me good education and enlightenment
Let me not use the knowledge to look down on people
Even as you raise me to the pinnacle of success in life
Let me also be mindful of the drops of bitterness you can drop in my wine of life
Even as you help me excel in every feat in life
Let me not acknowledge and take your glory for myself
Even as you shower me with your everlasting love, mercy and grace
Let me not allow the gifts thy love bestows estrange my hearts from thee
Even as you enlarge my barns and coast
Let me know that in all the hustle and bustle of this life
The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper
And makes more room for consolation
