LORD, bless me as I step into the COURT to play the game of BADMINTON.
Allow me to have a good GRIP of the racket I will hold and the game I will play.
Guide my every STEP as I move to cover every SHOT.
Help me to deliver the best SERVICE to my fellowmen.
Be it SHORT, LONG or even just a FLICK of a second.
The power to SMASH all barriers that try to block the way to success.
Grant that I may have the courage to RECEIVE the blows that may come my way.
Increase my desire to DRIVE forward despite some failures.
Let me not DROP my guard and become complacent because of little victories.
Instead give me the speed to rush forward to NET greater results and go for the KILL to score.
Not just in the game of BADMINTON, but more importantly in the real game of LIFE.
Make every victory a reminder of bigger and stronger challenges ahead.
Let every defeat become a learning experience that there is more to learn to become better and that I can also savor the joy of winning if I work hard to improve my game.
Help me to understand that the person on the other side of the net is not just an opponent that I have to beat but a partner that will bring out my best in the contest.
Finally, help me Lord to learn not just the lessons of the game but more importantly, the lessons of life that I may become an excellent badminton player, but more significantly a better person in life.
Amen!!!
