Dear God,

Thank You for the gift of sports and physical activity. I am grateful for the ability to compete, to challenge myself, and to work alongside others towards a common goal. I recognize that through sports, I am able to push my physical, mental, and emotional limits and grow as a person. I am thankful for the joy and satisfaction that sports bring to my life, as well as the opportunity to connect with others through friendly competition and teamwork.

I am also thankful for the lessons that sports teach me about perseverance, dedication, and resilience. Through moments of victory and defeat, I am reminded of the importance of humility and the value of hard work. I am grateful for the platform that sports provide to glorify You through the use of my talents and abilities. Thank You for allowing me to find purpose and meaning through sports, and for the opportunity to spread Your message of love, unity, and strength through this gift.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
