PRAYER BEFORE A GAME

We will go out to play

O almighty God

Help us give our best effort

That we may be victorious

As we begin the game, O Lord God

Guide us in maintaining our poise and

composure

May we never resort to dirty tactics and

foul play

Grant that we may do our best to win

May we never indulge in cheating, give in

to pressure,

Be overconfident or complacent.

May we never lose heart

But strive instead to offer you our best

effort

Help us be united despite strong

opposition

May we practice teamwork

Rather than rely on individual skills

Help us to work for good of the group

Rather than dream of personal glory

As we begin to play this game of

volleyball

Make us always realize that you

O dear God are watching us

And cheering for us

Gladly we play an honest game for you

O God

You are our caring audience

And patient judge who will decide

At the end of this life

Whether we deserve eternal life

O Lord God, this game is for you.

Amen.
