Dear Lord God,

Thank you for all the gifts you have given us. Help us to enter into this event with love, wisdom and strength in our hearts. We pray that we would look to you in awe and worship. May we put into practice all that we have learnt in our training, and bring to mind all the skills and planning from our preparation times. May each of us be aware of your goodness in our lives, and may this goodness pour out of us as a witness to your endless grace. You Lord are our inspiration, our teacher and our protector.

Our trust is in you today and always.

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.


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.


Lord, You have watched them grow in our care, to develop and flourish and to find their own way. Bless them today as they go into this sporting event. May they seek to be the best they can be and push themselves to new excellence. Come guard their hearts, their minds and their souls with the gentleness of your grace, that they might be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
