A Basketball Player's Prayer!

Dear Lord, thank you for my desire to honor you
Even though for a while there I did not know how
But with time in Sunday School my teacher,
Bless her heart for her patience with ten kids
Taught me that I can honor you even thru’ Bball
So Lord, I dedicate all my games, all my practice
Yes, my ribbons and my medals too, to you.

Lord, when I play on my school’s team,
When I excel on my AAU team
And as I dream of playing in the WNBA
It is to you that I lift up the my eyes
Because I know that you have lifted me up
With abundant talent, incredible coaches
And loving parents.

To you Lord, I pray for safety from injuries
For my team and for all teams that we shall play
May we be a beacon of great sportsladyship
That your presence in us may be visible for all
To those on the bleachers, the court and the TV, too
May our joy in you light up the world of basketball
Lord, bless our game and make us Stars for you!

Lord, I whisper this one to you from my heart
As we strive to be the best may we remember
To enjoy the journey and give you the glory
We expect great things from you Lord, we do,
Help us to attempt even greater things for you
That it may be our joy to be the very best players
But only if we honor and glorify you in our sport…Amen.
