This is my prayer as we Christians who happen to be Steeler fans gather for worship this morning:
Almighty God, we greet you this morning with football games and parties on our mind. As Western Pennsylvanians, we are at the height of Steeler fever today. But we know better than to make that the focus of this day. We know that a silly football game is far less important than taking the time to worship you. And so we gather in your house to worship you and you alone. Help us to set aside the concerns of this world, to ignore the temptation to worship false idols, so that we are completely focused on you today. Center us, O God. Bring our wills into accordance with your will as we seek to live and worship you this hour. In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns in us, Amen.
I'm impressed, Erik. Good work remembering the Almighty. And, good game! I fell asleep as soon as half-time was done but Eric gave me a play by play the next morning and I was stoked. Probably good I couldn't stay awake because it would have stressed me out.
