A Mechanic’s Prayer
Lord,
Give me steady hands when the bolt won’t break free,
and patience when the problem hides deeper than it should.
Keep my mind sharp and my temper calm
when the job gets harder and the day gets longer.
Protect me in the shop—
from slipping wrenches, falling lifts, and rushed decisions.
Watch over my body when it’s tired,
and my spirit when the work feels heavy.
Let my work be honest,
my word be trusted,
and my name be spoken with respect when I’m not in the room.
Help me fix what can be fixed,
and accept what can’t—without cutting corners.
Bless the hands that labor beside me
and the families waiting for us at home.
Remind me why I started—
to provide, to build, to keep the world moving one repair at a time.
And when I come home with busted knuckles and worn boots,
let my family see not just the grease,
but the love behind it.
Amen. 🔧
