Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up this precious child in prayer. She is feeling the weight of expectations, and we ask that You replace her fear with courage and her worry with peace. You tell us in **Philippians 4:6** to "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." So, we ask that You grant her the confidence to play with joy and to have faith that You are always by her side.
We pray that she remembers **Isaiah 41:10**, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Lord, strengthen her little heart and fill her with confidence in herself and in You, that she may approach this game and all of life’s challenges fearlessly.
We ask You, Lord, to place Your hand on her father’s heart, helping him to lead her with love, grace, and encouragement, so that he may see her as You see her—perfect in her efforts and beloved as Your child. Let him learn from **Ephesians 6:4**: "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."
Bless her with strong and swift feet as she runs across the field today, and let Your angels surround her with protection and grace. We pray that Mary, the mother of Your Son, intercedes on her behalf, guiding her as a loving mother would, comforting her spirit, and filling her with joy.
We also pray for her team and her peers, that they will uplift and encourage one another, just as it is written in **1 Thessalonians 5:11**, "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." May they find joy in their shared efforts and be filled with a spirit of unity and love.
In Jesus’ name, we pray for all of these things, trusting in Your perfect plan. Grant her peace, confidence, and a heart full of joy today and always.
**Amen.**
