Lord, in just a few moments, Ryan Hall will begin the men's Olympic marathon in London.
Hundreds of athletes--what makes him stand out?
Because he made You his official coach. At Your urging, by speaking to his heart, he released his coach from the 2008 Olympics and signed up with You.
Staggering.
Because he has said to the world--and he certainly has a world stage for the moment--that You are a real person and You want to work through his life...now.
The race starts in moments. I know You are there.
Show us how to make You our coach--for life--as well.
Thank you for loving us so very much.
And, Lord, help him be fast...very, very fast.
Amen.
