I agree.

    I pray that all the players would get through the game unhurt.

  2. Paul Christian G. Favila says:

    What if I pray for them not to get injured?

  3. Bob Jones says:

    Not a problem I don’t have a team of any sport

  4. Raymond L Foster Jr says:

    I pray that when I pour my bowl of Lucky Charms it will have an exceptional number of marshmallow bits because I like them. Pray for everything, dude.

  5. Scott Shifferd says:

    I pray for my favorite football team to know Christ and not to get hurt, and I pray the same for the opposition too. 🙂

  6. Jim Brett says:

    I thought that we should pray about everything

  7. Zane Rogers says:

    ?????

  10. Anthony Rowden says:

    Why not?

  11. James Michael Blanco says:

    This page I’m not sure who is running it. No disrespect, but it’s obvious many atheists like playing game’s on here.

  12. Al Majhul Lushai says:

    There is no room for atheist here!There are many groups where you can make discussion and debate there not here!

    .
    A view of a Christian I know:
    “There is hardly anything less important on the planet than professional sports.”

  14. Peter Richichi says:

    Everyone knows God is an Alabama fan. ROLL TIDE.

  15. Jim Grosso says:

    You pray for relationship with God. Sure you can ask for things but God is not your cosmic bellboy. I would not look to people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness for answers about God.

  16. Chad Turner says:

    I don’t think so. It is not our place to judge the hearts of fellow Christians. I don’t even watch sports, nor do I have any care at all about them, but I will not judge my brother who may pray for his preferred sports team. I would say that anyone who prays concerning anything does in deed take his faith seriously, even if I were to question his priorities.

  17. Clive Samuels says:

    I am praying bigger. Praying for some money to buy my own team.

  18. Jeremy Bickel says:

    It depends on the reason. If you are willing to give all your daily practices to God, then yes; if you only do it for football, then no. At least that’s one outline for a typical situation concerning prayer in sports. God knows the heart. Be sincere about humor and play and doctrine and reality and Master Jesus’ goodness.

  19. Terry Eldridge says:

    I agree too and I’m a Christian. Pray that their eternal souls might be saved maybe, but ask God to swing a game for them? Please……?

  20. Tracy Jayne Klecker says:

    Our lives are made up of simple pleasures that God would have us enjoy. God created Adam and Eve and walked with them in the cool of the evening, He wants to be a part of everything g we do. Jesus turned the water into tea, no, he turned it into wine so everyone at the party could really enjoy!!

  21. Robert Curran says:

    Leave it to an atheist to tell you how to pray. Do not seek atheist for truth, their entire world view begins with a lie. Gather with people who believe the Bible is true and call Christ their savior.

  22. Antonio Di Monaco says:

    Absolutley

  23. Victor Van Der Woude says:

    Majoring on the minors. So atheists think lots of things. The big issues are important not the little jabs.

  24. Samuel Luke says:

    I think atheists thinker needs a little time in scripture. Philippians 4:6-7 Contemporary English Version (CEV)

    6 Don’t worry about anything, but pray about EVERYTHING. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. 7 Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.

  25. Alex Wong says:

    One of the best King’s of Israel was said to lay out his plans daily before the lord and pray over them. Likewise I pray over all things big and small. At the end of the day I believe God prefers us in prayer over not.

  26. Taco Taco says:

    Stop

  27. Chris Jernigan says:

    When you see football players praying on the sidelines, it’s usually going to be praying that nobody gets hurt, and sportsmanship abounds for both teams. And probably some thanks and wonder that our bodies can perform in such amazing ways in the pursuit of athletic endeavors.

  28. Arland Kitty Benningfield says:

    Those that pray for a winning game may just be babes in Christ. We are urged to bring all our cares to the Lord but be thoughtful in your prayers.

  29. Bobby Michaels says:

    I agree. Especially since the other side is praying too. It is a form of idol worship which is forbidden.

  30. William Clark says:

    I wonder who God, Jesus and the HS were rooting for at the superbowl. Do you think they throw superbowl parties there? Who brings what? How BIG is the big screen they watch it on? Do you think they have DVR OR do you really think that it’s necessary? Do you REALLY believe that fumbles aren’t “planned”?
