Drew, 11
You can count on God to help you with every good thing you try to do. The Bible talks about how we should want to do what God wants us to do. “What you ought to say is, ‘If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that’ ” (James 4:15). “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men” (Colossians 3:23, NKJV).
If you want God’s help with sports, be sure you are honoring Him by how you play. Be sure you have a strong Christian testimony during every game. That means you’re honest and fair, and that you’re as good a Christian on the field as you are at church. “Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
But don’t ask God to help you win; He cares as much for the people on the other team as He does for you. Ask Him to help you do your best.
