Prayer before Gaming

Heavenly Father, you have blessed us with your presence in the world around us and in the creative expressions of human ingenuity in the virtual world. As we engage with digital games, we humbly seek your guidance and grace to uphold virtues that reflect your divine nature.

Grant us the virtue of temperance so to have moderation and self-control in our gaming experience, and to balance our time between the virtual world and the responsibilities of our daily lives.

Inspire in us the virtue of prudence so we may make wise choices in the games we play and the way we play them, discerning that which uplifts our minds and spirits over that which leads us astray.

Instill in us the virtue of fortitude so to persevere in the face of challenges and setbacks encountered in our virtual adventures, and to be strong in our faith even when faced with opposition.

Nurture within us the virtue of justice so we may treat our fellow gamers with fairness, kindness, and respect as we seek to build communities of true communion.

Above all, may our actions in the virtual realm reflect the love and compassion of your Son, Jesus Christ, who is our Way, Truth, and Life. May we emulate his example by choosing to live virtuously so that we may find peace and happiness on this earth and one day enjoy the reality of eternal life with you forever in heaven. Amen.
