Pre-Game Prayer for Those Yet to Believe

Matthew 5:45
In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and unjust too. (NLT)

Romans 2:4
Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindess of God leads you to repentance? (NASB)


Father God,

You are good to us even when we are not good to you. You bless us even when we are not blessing You. Thank you for your goodness. I ask you to bless this group with wisdom and strength tonight. I also ask that you protect them from injury. We ask these things so that we may taste your goodness in order to gain a fuller knowledge and love for You.

In Jesus' Name
Amen.

The strengh of a horse does not impress him; how puny in his sight is the strength of a man.

Rather the LORD's delight is in those who honor him and put their hope in his unfailing love.

Psalm 147:10-11
Lord, you are not impressed with our strength. When we are really honest, we don't have much strength ourselves. Help us to trust you. Help us to believe in your promises and walk in your victory. Lord, you make your people strong. Let us walk in your strength.

You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today.

Deuteronomy 11:27

Lord,

Thank you for your presence and thank you for the blessing you have on our lives. Lord we thank you that you have given us everything we need to live a godly life. Thank you for giving us the desire and the power to do what pleases you. Help keep us mindful of these things as we seek to obey you in the way that we prepare and in the way that we play. As we obey you, help us to realize your aid and your blessing and thank you for that.

Psalm 131:1a

Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty


Lord,

Forgive me for my pride. Help me to realize that everything comes from you. You hold all things together and nothing happens without you allowing it. Help me to see life as a gift and not an accomplishment of my own. Thank you for your continued goodness and grace

He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.

2 Corinthains 5:15

Lord,

Thank you for dying for us. Help us to live our lives for you, under your control rather than for ourselves under our own control. Lord, you are the boss of every area of our lives. Work on our hearts to give us the desire and the power to do what pleases you.
