RR: Well, let’s, in these moments we have before we close our program today, let’s join hands together and let’s pray. And I don’t know if this has happened on live television before or not, but I’m going to ask an athletic director and a star of the National Basketball Association and a pregnant woman and an evangelist all to pray together. Let’s all just have a brief word of prayer and just whatever’s on your heart. Ted, would you just lead a prayer first.
TO: Our dear Heavenly Father, thank You for this day and thank You for allowing us to have Wayman on this television show to share his witness for You, Christ. And dear Heavenly Father, go with him in his NBA career and help him continue to touch the lives of many, many people.
RR: Wayman, would you particularly pray for young people that are watching this program right now.
WT: Dear Heavenly Father, just one of Your sons coming to you asking You for help for the young people around the world, asking You to bless them and keep them away from the drugs, keep them away from bad habits and keep them away from all hurt, harm and danger. Dear Heavenly Father, we realize that You hold everything in Your hands and we ask You to bless us as we live each day through this terrible world. Dear God, just thank You for my blessing my career as You have already and just ask You tocontinue to bless it. Thank You.
RR: Lindsay.
LR: Father, I pray for every young athlete. I pray for everyone that thinks that they have to go out and prove something through athletics. But I pray that they will know that God loves them and they don’t have to prove anything. They don’t have to become anything, but first become a child of God. And when they get God s their Source, the rest will become easy. I pray, Lord, for their self-image, that they aren’t trying to go out there to prove to the world who they are, but just as Wayman did, go out and prove something really wonderful, that Jesus Christ is Lord of all. And, Lord, I pray that the young people of this time of athletics would have the boldness to get up and say, yes, I know Jesus as my Lord and Savior and I’m not going to be ashamed of it. And, no, I don’t want anything to do with drugs and Tisdale and say, if he can do it and become a great basketball player, a great athlete and yet a great witness for God, then so can I. I pray that young people today would be encouraged to stand up for the rights in Jesus Christ and put down the drugs and not be ashamed of it, but have holy boldness, in Jesus’ name.
