Dear Lord,
You have blessed us with many gifts and talents.
We thank you especially for the ability to participate in sports today.
Help us to play in a Christ-like manner.
Help us to play in a way that fosters good will and teamwork.
Help us to play to the best of our abilities.
Win or lose, we hope to have fun, make friends and celebrate life.
Amen.
