Coach's Prayer Heavenly Father, guide me as I strive to coach this team to build character and boost their self-esteem. May I keep an even temper and remember it's a game. Let me not have favorite players, but treat them all the same, Grant me patient wisdom as I praise them or correct, remembering that I must work to earn one's respect. Lord, whether we win or lose, may all who are watching see the kind of coach at every game that You would have me be. Amen. -Ramona K. Cecil
