For Pull Request / Code Submission
Meditations for when submitting code for review.
God, as I prepare this submission of code,
I thank you for the skills and knowledge and opportunity to do this work.
As I might foolishly wish to rush through this process, may I be reminded of your order of creation. That you had a process to it all. That in your process of redemption, you are patient with us.
And as you saw fit to lay your creations into the hands of others, may I be so humble.
Let my heart be prepared for revision and change. If changes are required, grant that I might not see it as a failure or hindrance, but a chance to better serve, grow, and bring about excellence in this work.
If this work is acceptable, may I trace this joy back to you, the giver of all good things.
I ask for grace;
To celebrate rightly, this moment and its accomplishment.
I ask for peace;
To overcome any anxiety as I proceed.
I ask for a blessing on those who give careful attention and effort to reviewing this code.
Remind me, Gracious and Merciful God, that my identity and righteousness is in Jesus Christ—Not in what I do or how well I do it.
I am not the things I make.
I am not code I write.
I am yours.
I am loved.
May I lay down my pride and insecurity as I press this submit button and trust that you have my future in your hands.
Amen.
