Good Morning, God,
Lord, you have heard this prayer many times before coming from sports teams that come from the YMCA's: "When or lose I pledge before God to play the game as well as I know how; to be to obey the rules; and to be a good sport at all times. Amen." We are grateful for this kind of attitude when we play any sport, or in fact, live the sport of life.
Although they weren't YMCA games on Friday night, the Jasper and Southridge football games were games that were played with the attitude of the YMCA games. Both Jasper and Southridge lost, Lord, but the players on both teams played the games as well as they knew how. They obeyed the rules-there was only one penalty in the Jasper game. They they were good sports at all times-they didn't cheat, there wasn't any extra-curricular activity on the field between players, and when the game was over they shook hands.
Lord, thank you for players who play fair and obey the rules and are good sports-and hold their heads up high,win or lose.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
