(a short inspirational prayer for an athlete before the event)Dear God,
Please take this moment in my life and use me to give you glory and praise.
Take my passion for this sport, may it light up with your love.
Take the hours of training and my commitment to excellence. Please use it to bring joy and inspiration to others.
Take my desire to be the best in sport I can be. May you speak your truth and hope through me.
In Jesus name,
Amen.

prayer for success
The famous prayer by Jabez recorded in 1 Chronicles 4:10:-
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.
Lawrence of Arabia, Thomas Edward Lawrence (1885-1932), writer and British army officer
Parents prayer for athletes
Lord,
You have watched them grow in our care, to develop and flourish and to find their own way.
Bless them today as they go into this sporting event. May they seek to be the best they can be and push themselves to new excellence.
Come guard their hearts, their minds and their souls with the gentleness of your grace, that they might be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
