Heavenly Father, be with my young athletes as they test their physical skills.
Let them play well, but fairly.
Let competition make them strong, but never hostile.
Grant them the strength to best their opponent, and lead them to always help the opponent up.
Grant them moments to rejoice, but not in the adversity of others.
Help them stay safe from injury, both physical and emotional.
Help them to learn something that matters once the game is over.
Help them remember that sports are just games.
If they know victory, allow them to be happy.
If they are denied, keep them from envy.
If through athletics, they set an example, let it be a good one.
In the name of Your Son, Jesus
Amen.

I believe this prayer is great. I’m a catholic, and my opinion is self explanatory. I’m 14 years old, and I used this prayer for a swim meet.. But I changed a couple words to fit the swimming criteria. I also left out a line or two, but overall, it’s an amazing prayer.
this is a nice prayer it does fit with what i am looking for:) tnx for sharing this!:)
using this prayer for my youth group’s winter olympics.
