Lord, please clear my head of all distractions and my heart of any burdens I may bear, so that I may perform my very best knowing you'll always be there.  Please lift me up before the moment so through you eyes I may see and have a clearer understanding as the race unfolds before me with great courage I will meet this challenge as you would have me to, but keep me humble and remind me that my strength comes from knowing you, then when all eyes are upon me at the end of the big race I will turn their eyes to you, oh Lord, and to the glory of you place.  Amen.
