Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.
A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Lord, I'm about to take a risk. I have an idea, some savings, and more nerves than I admit. Jesus said to count the cost before building, so help me plan carefully and listen to wise advice.
Establish the work of my hands. Keep me honest in every deal, generous when it goes well, and steady when it doesn't. Whatever this becomes, let it serve people and honor you.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
