Engineer's Prayer

Dear Lord, Almighty God; Maker of the Universe and more:

In your mercy, glory and power, which so rapidly approached and now uniquely circumscribes infinity, because you created it.

Please grant me the wisdom to know what should be readily and effectively analyzed, and what should be understood intuitively.

Please grant me the mathematical skills, theoretical knowledge, and computational power to analyze what should be analyzed.

Please grant me the experimental and statistical skills to determine experimentally what should determined experimentally.

Please grant me the project management and optimization skills to use all the resources which  you have graciously and undeservedly placed at my disposal, to their fullest.

Finally, Dear Lord, please grant me adequate funding and time so I can eat, work, and even occasionally relax comfortably; while I am having all this "fun"! I will take time to praise, study and worship you regardless.

Proverbs 2:6  For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
