Lord, today we play our first big game of
football against (name of school). We invite You to
watch over us, and guide us during this very special
game.
Lord, must important, we ask that You help
each one of us to give l00% to the playing of this
game. Giving l00% means placing all of our cares and
worries in God's Hands, and concentrating completely
on the game. Giving l00% means operating as one -
working together as one whole, united, and dedicated
team.
Bless each one us Lord, on the field
today. May we realize that winning is not necessarily what the final score says - winning is the
satisfaction that we have done our best, given l00%,
displayed excellent sportsmanship and became a team
in the true sense of the word.
Please bless our coaches -
(names of coaches). We thank them for all of their hard work and
dedication to our team. We also ask that You bless
our (name of School) spectators, whose support we
totally rely on to help us play our best.
May today be a great beginning to an
exciting new football season.
Amen
