     I can do all things through him who strengthens me. -Philippians 4:13

    Whenever I am struggling, wether that be in a game or just life in general I like to recite these words back to me. They give me strength to know that I have the Lord on my side and i can do anything I set my mind too if I work hard and pray.♥️

  • Why is Christ so important in the world of sports?

     I find Christ to be very important to the world of sports. The night before any game I always pray to keep of team in good health and to play to the best of our abilities. It is important to stay true to yourself and know you have Christ with you. Personally whenever I am feeling low in a game, I pray for my spirits to be lifted and to help me keep going. And the Lord always lifts me up and helps me keep going. I pray over all my teammates and for some of them who aren’t Christian and don’t have my same beliefs I pray for them and that God will help them keep going just as he helps me. So I find the word of Christ very important to the world of sports.
