(Inspired by psalm 23)
Weightlifters Prayer
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall never quit
He maketh me to stand in the face of adversity: He leadeth me to find confidence in my ability
He restoreth my strength: He leadeth me in the paths of righteous accomplishment for His name's sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of heavy weights, I will not fear: for Thou art with me; Thy blessings of faith, endurance, and the resolve to never lose shall guide my way
Thou preparest a competition before me in the presence of mighty warriors: Thou bringest them from far to test my conviction
Surely I will be in Thy light if I can confront what is heavy and walk away happy,
And I will dwell in this gym O Lord forever, in a fight to become not only the great weightlifter, but to wear the title of Olympian,
By Thy grace and my will power, shall I then enter into Thy kingdom a champion
AMEN
This is good!
ReplyDeleteY'all need to make a clip of last wednesday's training- when you clean & jerked 200 (or 205) while reciting Psalm 23. Gave me chills Brother!
Thanx Hunter for your comment. That was a great day in the gym. We all appreciate you watching.
