Father,
Thank You for
creating me with a powerful spirit, a strong body, and a growing mind.
Thank You for
providing a competitive and honorable opponent for this contest.
Thank You for
providing wise coaches, just officials, and helpful support personnel.
May we each and all
compete in a Christ-honoring way.
May we each and all
experience the best (sport) has to offer as we compete.
May we each and all
have a profound sense of your presence and pleasure in every moment of the competition.
I pray in Jesus'
strong name.
Amen.
