Marte, we join you in prayer for your daughter and her friends as they participate in the sports event. We stand on God's word that tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6 WEB)
Firstly, we want to remind you that true happiness and joy come from knowing Jesus Christ personally. It is only through His name that we can approach God and find eternal joy. As the scripture says, "There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)
Now, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Marte's daughter and her friends to You. We pray that You would bless their time together at the sports event, that it would be filled with fun, laughter, and joy. May their friendships be strengthened, and may their love for one another reflect Your love for us.
Lord Jesus, we know that true happiness is found in You. We pray that each one of these young people would come to know You personally, if they don't already. Soften their hearts and draw them close to You, Lord.
We also pray for their safety during the event. Keep them free from injury and harm, Lord. May the event be a time of healthy competition and camaraderie, rather than rivalry or strife.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Marte, remember to encourage your daughter and her friends to seek the Lord in all they do. As they delight themselves in the Lord, He will give them the desires of their heart (Psalm 37:4 WEB).
If any of these young people do not know Jesus as their personal Savior, we encourage you to share the good news of the gospel with them. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have eternal life (John 3:16 WEB).
