"Pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge." -Psalm 62:8
Many times, pre-game prayers can be like a “rah-rah” talk or a desperate plea to God for a big win. But as true competitors, we need to ask, “What is the proper way to pray before entering the battle? How should we pour out our hearts before God so that we will be spiritually ready for competition?” Here is a great prayer that you can pray before a game, competition, workout or even practice:
1. What are your pre-game prayers like?
2. Do you define winning by the scoreboard or by Christlike competition?
3. How can you develop your prayer life in the arena of competition?
Mark 11:24-25; John 5:14-15
Lord, I admit that my prayers before competition are more focused on the scoreboard than on becoming like You. I desire to pour out my heart before You every day that I compete. Develop in me a pure heart. Amen.
