Dear Lord, please help my mind to be sharp
So that I might focus on the needs of others
Help my ears to be trained
To listen to the calls that need my attention
Train my heart to persevere
Though, at times, I may feel overwhelmed
Keep my voice steady and calm
As I guide citizens and professionals
Keep my hands quick and accurate
So that I might relay details precisely
Lord, never let me become discouraged
For I know You've put me here to help my community
Never let me be fearful
For I know You drive my words and actions
Never let me forget that You are my provider
And You will provide, hour by hour, what I need in this job
