The Racer's Prayer

Lord, I pray as I race today,

Keep me safe along the way.

Not only me, but the others too,

As they perform the jobs they do.

I know God, that in every race,

I, the driver must set the pace.

Let not my desire for more speed,

Warp my judgement and turn

into greed.

From green to checkered, guide me

through.

Giving me strength to know what

to do.

Remind me often in the race of life,

How to cope with all the strife.

Help me accept the wins I may

receive,

And all the defeats, most graciously.

Ride with me, don't allow me to lag,

Guide me all the way to the

checkered flag.
