You may also want to use the generic pronoun oni in both parts of the sentence: Dio ne postulas, ke oni sukcesu, nur, ke oni penu.
The ultra-compact solution is to use nouns: Dio ne postulas sukceson, nur penon.
Also note that, although a lot of people use Dio as if it were a proper name, ReVo considers it more logical to use it as a common noun - with an article (la dio).

Thanks for the quote from Mother T, though, which is encouraging!

On another note, it reminds me of another (probably less profound) quotation which I actually used today. I'll translate it here and leave it to others to cite:
«Faru, aŭ faru ne. Ekzistas ne provi.»

jkph00:I read a saying by Sister Teresa of Calcutta today. It read, "God doesn't require us to suceed, only that you try." Would that be rendered, "Dio ne postulas ke ni sukcesas, nur ke vi penas?"According to the Mother Teresa of Calcutta Center, the form cited is a ‘significant paraphrase’ or ‘personal interpretation’, not a verbatim statement from her own work or speech.
Dankon!

I think Mother T's exhortation must be that you penu sukcesi. God approves the effort.
