Prayer For Basketball Tournament
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.
