"Almighty Father, you who are called the "Mighty Umpire" in this game of
life, we are not sure what uniforms we should wear. While we may be
Angels in spirit, in reality we are Giants in pride, Dodgers of
responsibility and Tigers in ambition. When it comes to faith, we find
ourselves in the minor leagues. When it comes to good works, we strike
out; when it comes to knowledge of your Word, we are not even sure of
the ground rules."
"Therefore, we are thankful for your mercy when we find ourselves in foul
territory; for your forgiveness when we commit one error after another;
for your uplifting spirit when we find ourselves in the pitfalls of a slump.
"Dear God, may our game plan be your will, and our response a sellout
crowd with standing room only. And, when our number is retired here on
earth, may we rejoice to hear you call out, "SAFE," in His name who
gives final victory to all who believe! Amen."
