A little less worrying. A little more praying. A whole lot more trusting. 🤍🏒
One week from today hockey tryouts begin, and if I’m being honest, my heart has been carrying a lot of hopes, fears, and what-ifs into this season.
I can spend the next 11 days worrying about every possibility, overthinking every scenario, and trying to prepare my heart for an outcome I can’t control…
Or I can spend those 11 days praying. 🙏🏼
So I created an 11-Day Hockey Tryout Prayer Journal to intentionally pray over my boys, their hearts, their confidence, their fears, their friendships, and the people they’ll be surrounded by this season.
But these prayers aren’t just for them.
They’re for me, too.
For my anxious thoughts.
For the fears I carry as their mom.
For the outcomes I’m already trying to prepare myself for.
For the reminder that I don’t have to have it all figured out.
I’m praying for calm hearts, confident minds, courage in the face of fear, resilience through disappointment, and the ability to find joy in the game no matter what happens.
I’m praying that their identities remain rooted in who God says they are, not in a jersey, a team, a position, or a coach’s decision.
And I’m praying that I can be the mom they need through all of it. A mom who brings peace instead of pressure. Who encourages instead of projects her fears. Who trusts God’s plan even when it looks different from the one she imagined.
I can want something deeply and still surrender it fully to God.
So for the next 11 days, I’m trying my best to trade my worrying for intentional prayer. I’m choosing to be present instead of consumed by the what-ifs. And I’m reminding myself that these boys are growing into who God created them to be, and hockey is just one small part of their story. 🫶🏼
Happy to share this prayer journal with other hockey moms who want to lean into prayer alongside me. Drop something in the comments or DM me and I’ll be in touch. 🤍
