In her post-game interview, Coco said she was exhorting herself to do maximum effort versus the talented #1 world ranked player. Coco was not asking God’s help. She was telling herself to use those God given gift.
That is what I admire about her. She does not run to God for help. God has already gifted her with physical and mental gifts. She believes in using those. That is how I have lived my life as well. I thank God every day for the magnificent brain and body he awarded me with. I believe he wants me to use those gifts instead of asking for his help.
Nice take.

“Shepard’s Prayer”
Is attributed to Shepard, with the phrase supposed to have been uttered by him while he awaited liftoff aboard the Freedom 7. It is usually quoted as
“Dear Lord, please don’t let me F up”,
Prayer has almost nothing to do with asking God to bless you, get you out of circumstances, or even for the most magnificent body or most brilliant mind (thank you lord that I’m not like that sinner over there, right?).
It’s about something much deeper.
Humility.
