Father God,
Thank you so much for the gift of volleyball and the opportunities that I have had to play this summer and the last 10 years. I have struggled with putting volleyball above you, and winning meant everything to me. I was not truly out there to give you all of the glory. I wanted to make my name known, and I wanted the attention. Forgive me for placing volleyball above you.
Thank you for teaching me that I need to focus on you alone, and not through volleyball or anything else. Thank you for giving me the time to spend with you this summer. When I am filed with you alone is when I can freely serve you in ministry. Thank you for the talent you hae given me. Help me to use it to glorify you. Let my actions be Christ-like and out of love. When I coach, help me to love each player equally. Let my words and actions come from you. In all that I do, I pray that you are glorified and not me. Help me not to rely on my own abilities, but remember that it is you who gave me the ability.
I really want to work with FCA volleyball next summer! I want to develop the talents you have given me, and to show others love on and off the court. You are in controll of my future. Help me to glorify you in all that I do.
"Our first love is to God, not our ministry or good works."
