Strong and faithful God,
As we come together for this contest,
we ask you to bless these athletes, our children.
Keep them safe from injury and harm,
instill in them respect for each other,
and reward them for their perseverance.
Lead us all to the rewards of your kingdom,
where you live and reign for ever and ever.
Amen.
