As you know, athletics and life is a roller coaster with both high peaks and low valleys. God wants us to know His loving word can help us get through both.

In Psalm 118, the phrase "His faithful love endures forever" is repeated 5 times so it must be important! So how can this phrase help us with the peaks and valleys of athletics and life? Try this when the frustrations hit.

For Coaches

Ad did not keep his/her promises to you!
“His faithful love endures forever."

My star athlete is suspended or ineligible!
"His faithful love endures forever."

My athletes are not driving through to the end of the season.
"His faithful love endures forever."

Personal family problems!
"His faithful love endures forever."

For Athletes

You are injured!
"His faithful love endures forever."

You are now second string!
"His faithful love endures forever."

Must switch schools!
"His faithful love endures forever."

Family problems!
"His faithful love endures forever."


Some days it will be easy to say, some days it will be hard. But let's give it a try and see what can happen when we acknowledge and truly believe in God's faithful love that endures forever.

Prayer: Thank you God for your faithful love that endures forever. Please help me to remember that nothing is more important.
