Athletes Prayer

I thank you, O God, for giving me a body which is specially fit and strong, and for making me able to use it well.

In my training, help me never to shirk the discipline which I know that I need and that I ought to accept.

In my leisure and in my pleasure, help me never to allow myself any indulgence which would make me less fit than I ought to be.

When I compete with others, help me, win or lose, to play fair. When I win, keep me from boasting. When I lose, keep me from making excuses. And help me always with good will to congratulate a better player who beat me.

Help me so to live that I will always have a healthy body and a healthy mind

This I ask for your loves sake.

Amen
