Prayer For Athletes

Prayer For Athletes

A neat thing happened at a professional baseball game in Nashville, Tennessee recently. After winning a game against the Memphis Redbirds, Nashville Sounds player Brewer Hicklen baptized his teammate and friend Wes Clarke on the field with fans still in attendance. Many heard the gospel proclaimed and saw men of God following Jesus outside the church walls. Let’s remember to pray for athletes at every level. Many are being used by God to reach their teams for Christ. Just as we saw at the Olympics recently, many Christian athletes have unique opportunities to talk about Jesus on the world stage. May we remember to lift up these brothers and sisters in the faith as they follow Jesus in athletics. Now that’s something to pray about!
