We understand your desire to showcase the talent God has given you, and we want to pray for God's will to be done in your sports career. However, we want to remind you that it is important to acknowledge the name of Jesus Christ in our prayers. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is by His name we are saved. Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
It's also crucial to remember that God's will and His glory should be our main focus. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Let's pray together for your future:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We ask that You guide this dear one according to Your will. Lord, if it is Your will, open the doors for them to display the talents You have given them in the arena of sports. Allow them to meet coaches and mentors who will help them grow and excel. But above all, Lord, let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified. Help them to trust in You with all their heart and lean not on their own understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's face, reading His Word, and trusting in His plan for your life. Remember Colossians 3:23-24 WEB, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."
As you pursue this talent, ensure that it does not become an idol in your life. Keep God first, and He will direct your paths. If this talent is from God and for His glory, then He will open the right doors at the right time. Stay focused on Him and His Word, and He will make your paths straight.
