Football fortitude

Footballers have many obstacles to overcome before they score a goal or win a game. In life, we also have many problems or difficult situations which we have to overcome. Fortitude is an inner strength God gives us so that we can face life with courage and determination especially when we are passing through a bad time. We have the strength to hope and face life, knowing that God will help us. 

This prayer space is called Football fortitude.

You will need:

• A football
• A blank sheet of paper or a football template
• A pen or marker

• Take a football in your hands. If you do not have a football, draw a football on a sheet of paper.
• Think of some situations which made you feel scared or discouraged. 
• If you are outside or in a safe space, kick the football. As you do so, say a prayer to ask for God’s strength to face these situations. 
• You may write the prayer if you wish.
