A Prayer for Saturday, September 17, 2016


Opponents

O God,

As we watch today’s game, it’ll be us against them.

We’ll be on this side; they’ll be on that side.
We’re Bears; they’re Golden Eagles.
We’re Mercer; they’re Tennessee Tech.
We want to win; they want to win.

We’re divided.
We’re opponents.

But we’re united by something more
vital than anything that divides us:
we’re all members of the human race.

Help us remember that as
we compete in other ways.

Go Bears!

But even more—Go Humanity!


Amen.
