The life of an athlete is filled with euphoric highs and discouraging lows. It is necessary to have a stabilizing force to help you navigate through this life of tumults. Prayer is that stabilizing force as it connects you to your Divine Creator. Staying in constant communion with the Architect of your life reminds you of your position and purpose for which you were created. You are sons and daughters first and foremost, and you were created to bring God glory through your sport. In a world where applause and accolades are the centerpieces of success, it is important to have a constant reminder of your greater purpose. When Athletes Pray is a compilation of devotionals that walk you through life experiences as an athlete. You will be encouraged by the authentic transparency of these experiences and find joy in your journey as an athlete. When athletes pray, their lives are forever changed.
