At the beginning of each practice we pray. At the end of each practice we pray, and before and after each game, we pray, all together as a team each time. It is a good habit. It is a good routine. I grow so accustomed to this routine that I half-expect to hear the break down"1-2-3-TEAM..." immediately following prayers at home.
My question for the team last week was about the purpose of prayer for our practice.
My concern about our prayers were that as they were routine, they were not always entered into wholeheartedly. And as picks are not effective when they are not done with purpose, I feared that our prayers had lost some of the meaning.
The conversation we had helped even me recognize the value of prayer outside of basketball. We talked about the power of prayer, and determined that praying would still be a good thing to do as much as possible. I hope guys grow in their prayer life, and as we continue to pray as a team this season, that we would with a purpose.
