Invite God on to the court with you with A Basketball Player’s prayer.
Sports, like basketball, provide us with a unique opportunity to grow in discipline and, in many ways, virtue. They can cultivate community and joy, and allow us to glorify God with our very bodies.
On the front of this full-color, laminated card depicts Christ with His hand extended down toward a young man shooting a basketball. On the back of the card is a prayer for Basketball players asking God to help them on the court and off.
Give this as a gift to your teammates or keep it with your equipment to pray before practice or the big game.
Back of card:
Dear Lord, As we face our opponents tonight, may we play our hearts our 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.
