A Racer’s Prayer
By Kay Perdaris
Before I start my engine, Lord, I need to talk to you
And humbly ask your blessing for what I’m about to do.
I give you all the credit, for it’s only by your grace
That I have reached this starting line to run another race.
The road that lies before me now, uncertain it may be,
But I can face this challenge, Lord, if you will ride with me.
Prepare my heart and give me strength; protect me from all harm.
With ever present danger hold me safely in your arms.
Lord, bless my competition, my friends and family.
May they know your love for them and see that love in me.
Please guide my way, direct my path, keep my perspective true.
And Lord, remind me in this life that all roads lead to you.
And should I cross life’s finish line, please know I’ve done my best.
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul and grant eternal rest.
I pray your perfect will be done, for when I see your face,
Lord, all that you will judge me on is how I’ve run the race.
