We understand that you are passionate about ###'s team, and while we believe that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our interests and hobbies, the prayer is misaligned when it is only focused on physical benefits, worldly rewards, or not asking for God's will. As a child of God, we should be focused on God's will, where He provides for our needs and even wants. He even knows what we want before we want it. Sports can be a great platform for sharing the love of Christ and displaying godly character, but let us also pray for things with eternal significance. We are called to pray for one another in James 5:16. The greatest thing we can pray for is that ###'s team would come to know Christ and live for Him.
We should pray for the team's salvation and that they would pursue righteousness, not just physical success and abilities. "You are therefore encouraged and comforted, and your hearts remain, because you are holy, and because of the love which has been bestowed on you by God, that you should become holy and blameless before him in love" (Ephesians 1:4). Let's pray asking for God's will to be done.
Heavenly Father, we lift up ###'s team to You. We pray that each member would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We pray that they would pursue righteousness and holiness, not just physical success. We pray that they would use their platform to glorify You and share the love of Christ with others. We pray that they would be a light in the world of sports, pointing others to You. We pray that they would be protected from injury and that they would display godly character on and off the court.
