If you guys don't mind, I would like to take today to pray for my team. Today is their first day of competition up at the Armory in New York City for the New Balance Indoor Games. I have watched, witnessed, and participated in the brutal training regime that the team has undergone over the past few weeks, and I know that they are ready. I pray that God will give them to strength to perform to the best of their abilities this weekend. I pray that He will give them the confidence and will power they need to face every competitor on their side with an edge of glory. I pray that He will lift them up on wings like eagles and help them to fly. Win or lose, I pray that they will praise Him and give Him the honor and glory for it all. Below is my favorite verse of all time to read before any competition:
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
"Do you not know that runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win. Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. Thus I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight as if I were shadowboxing. No I drive my body and train it, for fear that, after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified."
God Bless The Tigers :)
