Heavenly Father,
My sporting career is coming to a rapid end.
My body is broken down and my mind is tired.
My love for (sport) and for its people is strong and vital to my life.
The steady approach of retirement both excites and frightens me.
For as long as I can remember, (sport) has been a central part of my identity.
Please remind me daily that my worth, my identity, and my life are securely tied to my relationship with You.
Lead me confidently into this next chapter of life, love, and fulfillment of Your purposes.
In Jesus' strong name,
Amen.
