Illinois Fighting Illini Football Fanatics

Dear Lord,

We thank You for another beautiful, autumn afternoon wherein our Fighting Illini football team will face yet another Big Ten foe. We ask that You please watch over and protect these young men, on both teams, who will do 'battle' today and that you inspire them with the skills, sportsmanship and joy of this competition. But most of all Lord, in the midst a 1 and 3 season, we simply ask that You insure through Your Divine Powers and Grace that the Illini team we know and love, at least shows up and is competitive. Thank You Lord, and in this we pray, Amen.
