A Sports Parent’s Prayer
God, I thank you for the wonderful blessing it is to watch my children play sports. Thank you for the smile that it brings to their faces and for the ways in which sports help them to grow in virtue and skill. I ask that as they participate, you protect them from injury and harm and bless them with the grace to reach their full potential. Bless their coaches so that they may embrace their role and have the courage to always do what is right for the children you have entrusted to their care.
Grant all sports parents the graces we need to be supportive and to have perspective. May we seek not our own will for our child but yours, and in doing so, be free to let them enjoy this experience no matter the result. May each of us—child, coach and parent—glorify you through our actions and come to know you better through this experience. I ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
