Spiritual Moment On Field For Damar Hamlin
During a Monday night football game last month, Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field. Hamlin is now recovering, but the impact of the event has reached the hearts of people across America.
Sometimes, God intervenes, and, on that Monday, sports fans got an otherworldly message when players bowed in prayer on the field and sportscasters prayed out loud on national television for Hamlin’s recovery. It reminded an entire country that faith still matters. As the country witnessed football players on the field bowing their heads in prayer as their teammate was taken by ambulance for a battle to stay alive, it appeared that the event spoke to the spiritual hearts of people everywhere. Thankfully, Hamlin is recovering and has returned to his home to continue fighting his way back to good health.
While the team and their fans continue to celebrate Hamlin’s recovery, they also ask for continued prayers for the player’s complete restoration of health. The Buffalo Bills’ experience with their teammate was frightening, but through it all, people have found hope and optimism in the power of prayer.
