Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up the concerns and desires of Anonymous regarding the ban on tackle football for children under 12 in California and other states. We ask for your divine intervention and guidance in this matter.
Lord, we pray for Governor Gavin Newsom and ask that you touch his heart and remind him of his promise not to sign the bill if it were to reach his desk. We pray that he would uphold parental rights and consider the importance of allowing children to participate in contact sports like tackle football safely.
We also pray for those who hold negative opinions and seek to restrict boys from playing contact sports. Lord, we ask that you soften their hearts and help them understand the value and benefits that such activities can bring to young boys. May they recognize the importance of allowing boys to be boys and engage in physical activities that contribute to their growth and development.
Lord, we trust in your power to work miracles and bring about positive change. We pray that in January of 2024, the ban on tackle football for children under 12 in California would be miraculously lifted. May children be able to enjoy this sport safely and without any wrongful restrictions.
We declare your sovereignty over this situation, Lord, and we believe that you can bring about a favorable outcome. We thank you for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
