Prayers for God to imbue our VP and athletes with strength and light for VICTORY on the world stage.

Prayers that Americans put up a united front and there be ZERO disrespect shown our flag and anthem.

Prayers for all corrupt antics of the Devil be thwarted especially as it regards murderous, authoritarian regimes trying to pull a fast one.

Prayers for fairness in scoring, consequences for doping, and for America to be beacon of freedom.

Prayers for underdog athletes to have unexpected wins and experience miracles.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
