Prayer after failure

Loving Father,

This failure assaults my heart and my mind with accusations and doubts.

I confess that my errors and our lack of execution have led to this painful result.

I confess the sins of my flesh and the rebellion in my heart.

Please restore my mind, body, and emotions by Your infinite kindness and grace.

I will neither allow momentary failure to define me nor to defeat me.

Please restore my confidence and that of my teammates to recover, to train, to prepare, and to compete again.

I pray and trust in Jesus' strong name.

Amen.
