My Football Coaching Prayer

-
My Football Coaching Prayer Father God, I come before you in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Father lead and guide me as I coach. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And if I put God first, the desires of my heart will be given to me. I speak blessings and favor for this football team because I am a child of God by the blood of the lamb. Father, use me to impact lives in a positive Godly manner as I coach today. Let my actions speak for me Father, and let my tongue be used in a manner that will glorify you. I pray for the coaching staff and players. Let us remain injury free and let everything that is done be pleasing to you. You are my source and my strength and let me not forget who I am in you. Let me walk in a way that is worthy of my calling. I will walk victoriously both on and off the field because you are my strength. We pray these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
