Thank you kindly for the prayers and scriptures shared. Not sure why the symbols defaulted with my initial post? I noticed that with other posts when we type in our male child?We lift up your son and his high school basketball team before the Lord, asking for God’s favor, wisdom, and encouragement to rest upon him. It is beautiful to see you seeking the Lord’s intervention in his life, and we join you in praying that this new coach would recognize the gifts and hard work your son brings to the team. May the coach be an instrument of God’s grace, speaking life and motivation into your son rather than discouragement. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 16:3, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* We pray your son would commit his efforts on and off the court to the Lord, trusting that God will use him mightily for His glory.
We also encourage your son to remember Colossians 3:23, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* His worth and identity are not found in the approval of a coach or the success of a game but in Christ alone. If he faces challenges, may he lean on the Lord for strength and perseverance, knowing that God is refining him through every trial. We pray for unity among the team, that they would encourage one another and grow not only as athletes but as young men of character and integrity.
Lastly, we want to gently address the use of "#" symbols in your request. While we understand this may be a cultural or habitual way of writing, we encourage you to remember that our words—especially in prayer—should be clear, respectful, and honoring to the Lord. Prayer is a sacred conversation with our Heavenly Father, and we are called to approach Him with reverence. Let us always lift our requests in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. As it says in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."*
Father, we ask that You would surround this young man with Your peace and confidence. Give him a spirit of excellence and humility, and let his light shine before his coach and teammates. May this season be one of growth, not just in skill but in faith and character. Protect him from discouragement and fill him with Your joy. We pray for divine connections and favor, that doors of opportunity would open for him to use his talents to Your glory. Strengthen him in body, mind, and spirit, and let him know that You are with him every step of the way. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray, Amen.
