Prayer For Volleyball Players
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,
I ask for your strength, your protection and your everlasting love to be with me today.
Amen.
Our Father in heaven,
Thank you for the privilege of training this team. I thank you for each player and all the great talents you have given them. Watch over them now as they compete today. Protect them from injury and fill them with strength and courage as they give of their best.
Amen.
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 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.
God let me play well, but fairly.
Let competition make me strong but never hostile.
In this and in all things, guide me to a virtuous path.
If I know victory, grant me happiness.
If I am denied, keep me from envy.
See me not when I am cheered,
but when I bend to help my opponent up.
Seal it in my heart that everyone
who takes the court with me becomes my sister.
Remind me that sports are just games.
Teach me something that will matter once the games are over.
And if through volleyball I set an example let it be a good one.
