成功を祈っています

The word '成功' (seikō) is a compound word derived from Middle Chinese. '成' (sei) means 'to achieve,' 'to become,' or 'to complete,' and '功' (kō) means 'merit,' 'achievement,' or 'success.' Together, they form 'success.' The verb '祈る' (inoru) meaning 'to pray' or 'to wish' has ancient Japanese origins, appearing in classical Japanese literature. The 'te-form' (inotte) connected with 'います' (imasu) is a common grammatical construction in Japanese to express an ongoing state or action, or in this case, a continuous sentiment of wishing.
