Praying For Athletic Coaches

Praying For Athletic Coaches

As I look back over my life, especially the early part of my life, I’m amazed by how many athletic coaches were used by God to shape who I am today. Certainly, my parents top the list, and teachers and friends would be up there too, but so many truths and character lessons have stuck with me and guided me from these many coaches. Whether it was hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball—I played everything I could—each coach impacted me in a needed way, and a few of them even led me to Christ. This week, let’s say a prayer for our children’s coaches. God is using them in a special way to shape our kids. And coaches, if you’re listening, thank you for what you do. Now that’s something to pray about!
