I have shared this prayer after each workout I've Q'd this week, and will do so for my final Q at Cauldron on Friday to complete Week of The Force. It's been an awesome, fulfilling week. A few guys have asked me to please post the prayer, and instead of doing so at the end of each BB, I thought I'd just post it once for the week.
Ball Of Man
Dear Lord, we have so much to be thankful for, and I have so much to be thankful for over the past 3 years. I'm thankful for all the wonderful aspects of F3 that I and so many others have seen:
We've seen men find F3 and we've seen it change their own lives and the lives of their families and others around them.
We've seen men change their bodies for the better. Some almost complete transformations.
We've seen men reach outside of their comfort zones to push themselves either physically or mentally or as leaders.
We've seen men break down with injuries and overcome them by leveraging your strength, their will and the support of their F3 brothers.
We've seen men fight cancer and beat it.
We've seen men fight unimaginable personal loss and overcome it. Some still fight today and we pray for you to give them strength and for them to find peace.
We've seen men come together – men of different ages, backgrounds, races and beliefs – they've come together to meet, to exercise, to fellowship, to reach high together for common goals, and to lift one another up. I pray F3 can be used as an example for this great nation.
I pray that F3 will continue to grow and inspire men like I've seen it do the past 3 years. I pray every man who needs it – whether they realize or not – will find it.
Lord we lift up all of those in need, and I pray you will give me strength and guidance the rest of this week to deliver healthy doses of physical punishment, leadership and fun to the men of F3 nation. In your name we pray…
