Lord,
We thank you for the gift of this game in which we were able to participate. Thank you for the bodies that allow us to glorify You through our play. Thank you for the gift of competition, for our opponents, officials, coaches and fans. Thank you for our parents who support us and those who could not be here today. We thank you for our health and pray for those who may have been injured today. Help us to learn from our mistakes today as well as our successes, that win or lose we may take this and all contests as an opportunity to grow physically and mentally. Help us to grow spiritually through our giving of ourselves to this team and our teammates. May we always be humble in victory and gracious in defeat, asking that Your will be done at all times. Finally, be with us as we go forth to guide us and protect our families. We ask this in Jesus name.
Amen.
