Helias Softball Team Prayer

God help us to be a TEAM ribbed with the steel of Your Holy Spirit...to not flinch when the battle is fiercest..to not acquiesce, nor compromise, nor fade when the enemy rages.

God help us to be a TEAM that can't be bought, bartered, or badgered by the enemy, to be those who will pay the price, make the sacrifice, stand the ground, and hold the torch high.

God help us to be a TEAM obsessed with the principles true to Your word, to be stripped of self-seeking and yearn for security...Help us to be a TEAM that will pay any price for freedom and go any length for truth.

God help us to be a TEAM delivered from mediocrity, to be a TEAM with vision high, pride low, faith wide, love deep, and patience long...to be a TEAM that dares to march to the beat of a distant drummer, to be a TEAM who will not surrender principles of truth in order to accommodate their peers.

God help us to be a TEAM more interested in scars than medals, more committed to conviction than convenience, a TEAM that will give their life for the eternal, instead of indulging their lives for a moment in time.

God help us to be a TEAM that is fearless in the face of danger, calm in the midst of pressure, bold in the midst of opposition.

God help us to be a TEAM that will pray earnestly, work long, preach clearly, and wait patiently.

God help us to be a TEAM whose walk is by faith, whose behavior is by principle, whose dreams are in heaven, and whose book is the Bible.

God help us to be a TEAM that is equal to the task. This is the TEAM we want to be, help us be that TEAM.
