Good Morning, God,
On Wednesday, we prayed for lives lived in positive ways. Tonight we will enjoy some of those ways-we will be watching and listening to High School Football for the first time this fall.
We usually enjoy these games, God. If we aren't playing the game, perhaps we once were on the gridiron playing "lights out ball." Perhaps we watched our boyfriend play and now sit next to him as his wife, listening to his bouquets and brickbats that are directed to the team. Perhaps we are students, just coming to the game for the socialization; perhaps our boyfriend is playing now and we hope and pray he doesn't get hurt. Perhaps we are the sportscasters and technicians whose great pleasure is describing the plays so that they are real to the listeners.Perhaps we are going to be the players and coaches and officials, tonight.
Lord. All we ask, no matter who we are, is that win or lose we will play the game as well as we can and that we will be good sports at all times. At the end of the game, we will give you the thanks, God, for the ability to play, watch, and enjoy the game of football.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
