A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, October 14th

Good Morning, God,

The headlines are out of the world of sports today, Lord. Teams have been upset, and this causes people to be upset. Indiana upset Penn State a few weeks back. Texas upset Oklahoma Saturday. Penn State upset Michigan. Missouri upset Georgia. LSU upset Florida. Utah upset Stanford. Lord, what's with all of these upsets?

Of course, Lord, we can't attribute any of this to you and your blessing or not blessing a team. You really don't favor one team over another. You give the players, their bodies, their health, and their minds. Then, through patient coaching, the encouragement of parents and fans, and the sheer will to do well, the gifts and skills of the players are used to play the games.

Lord, grant that each of us use the bodies you have given us to play the great game of life well. May we know that we will be victorious at the end because we have played our best for our life coach named Jesus Christ. May we know that this victory is not a surprise or an upset to anyone, but an assured victory because of our belief in Coach Jesus.


In Jesus' name, Amen.
