Invite God on to the field with you with A Football Player’s prayer.
Sports, like football, 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 raised in blessing standing behind a young man playing football. On the back of the card is a prayer for Football players asking God to help them on the field 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 God, Thank you for this new day. It is such a privilege and a blessing to play football. Please fill us with energy and passion as we push ourselves to do well. Help us all to compete with fairness in our hearts and minds and give us the grace to accept our success or defeat. Protect our health and bodies as we challenge, tackle, and run today. Watch over all those present, the spectators young and old, and our nearest and dearest families. May this game celebrate sport, and be enjoyable for everyone. Amen
