Prayer For Basketball Players
Dear God,
May everything I am be a prayer to you. May I race with strength, courage and endurance and fulfil my potential today.
Amen.
Dear Father, may we compete with Your heart shining through ours. May we push ourselves to be what You tell us we can be. May we have kindness in our hearts, mindfulness in our souls, and endurance to finish. Keep us and our competitors safe from harm, and let our actions be a testament to your glory. Amen.
Dear Father, let the efforts of our minds and bodies be fruitful, that we may perform in a way glorious to You. May the time we spent preparing shine today as a testament to You. Keep our hearts open and our bodies safe from harm. Amen.
Dear Lord, help me remember that success
begins with a person's will,
and life's battles don't always go to the stronger
or faster skill.
Help me travel each game's test
with enthusiasm,
always doing my best.
Each time I dribble down the court,
let me remember that teamwork
is our best defense.
As we pivot, screen, press, pass, and shoot,
keep me rebounding when I'm feeling tense.
When the buzzer announces the final score
and the fans have ceased their cheering roar,
I thank You for this exciting sport
where victory is our final goal.
And even though one team will lose,
I'm always a winner deep in my soul.
Because although I'm only one person,
You've taught me that the one who wins
is the one who thinks "I can."
Amen.
Dear Lord,
As we face our opponents tonight,
may we play our hearts out and give a
100% effort out there on the court.
May we also be good sportsmen to our opponents
before, during, and after the game.
Finally, Lord,
we ask that you watch over us during the game.
Give us the stamina to endure the game,
and empower us mentally
to overcome every challenge we will face.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
Almighty God, We praise your name, we lift you high with every move, each throw we make and with the celebration of every point we score. Please bless our team with passion for this wonderful sport, with unity of heart and mind and with a vision to try our hardest. May we be focused on carrying the legacy of your great love in our lives as we play today. Amen.
Dear Father,
May I compete with your love shining in my heart. May I push myself to be the best. I believe I can with your wisdom in my mind. May I have the strength, endurance and skills I need to be the athlete I know I can be. I worship you, I surrender to you.
Lord, all that I do today is for you and your glory.
Amen.
Dear God,
May everything I am be a prayer to you. May I race with strength, courage and endurance and fulfil my potential today.
Amen.
