Prayer for the family of a competitor

Father in Heaven,

Thank You for placing me in a loving family.


They are a treasure to my soul.


I feel conflicted as my presence with them is compromised.


My life in sport is demanding of time and attention.


Please guard my family as I travel, train, and compete.


Teach me how to be 100% present when I am with them and to be mindful of them when absent.


Deepen our bonds of love, respect, and affection.


I commit my family, all our hopes and dreams, into Your loving care. 


I pray in Jesus' strong name, 


Amen.
