Heavenly
Father,
You
have set every earthly authority in place to rule, to judge, and to protect.
Sports
officials are no exception.
I
pray that today's officials are full of wisdom and insight.
I
pray that they respect the game, the players, and the coaches.
I
pray that they arbitrate the game well and relate well to its other
participants.
Please
guard them from injury and help them to prevent injury among others.
May
they find joy in this contest and may they experience the best that this sport
has to offer.
Amen.
