Disciple of Prayer
Hello I am writing to ask for prayers for my son ###. ### is 21 and a junior at ###. He plays quarterback. This request may seem trivial and in the grand scheme of things it is very very trivial. ### is a true man of God giving ### to the homeless selflessly. Praying for others and always trusting God's plan. This young man came into our bedroom one night at a very young age terrified that he would spend eternity in hell. We have pursued a Christian education for all our children and ###'s faith only grew and many of his teachers and friends have encouraged him to be a Pastor. We pray for that as well. ###'s senior year was a COVID year and because of it his last football season was not a normal season. His school played teams from much larger schools and as a result they went from a playoff team the year before to winless. In his final game after leading a pledge to name the kids who had not played that year captains. So that their parents could be proud as well. The game started out poorly for his team and 6 minutes into the first quarter after throwing an interception ### was sent to the bench. Despite pleas from his teammates ### remained on the bench and did not protest. He stood tall in God's grace and cheered his team on. When the game was over ### collapsed in tears into my arms as we hugged. He was heartbroken. The head coach later admitted that it was a mistake but he thought it would make ### a stronger college player. ### is now at ### where he transferred last year to be closer to home. He transferred from ### where he has a chance to compete for a starting role because he felt the college was hypocritical by allowing and condoning a number of God's teachings and felt the atmosphere wasn't conducive to his love for God. He met with the coaches from ### who told him he would be given a chance to play and this never came to true and after going 0-10 the coaches were fired. The new staff has told my son what a great leader he is and they have 3 QB’s that could be starter including him He is currently #3 on the chart. Despite some chances he and the other young man really haven't been given any chances to show their worth. The team is still struggling to win. I am asking that God give ### the strength to persevere and to get one last chance to play. I think that's all he really wants is to just know what it feels like to finish on your terms and playing. I don't mean for this prayer to sound selfish I realize how blessed I and my son are I am just asking for him to get a chance to close the door on his career playing so it doesn't linger. So that his mind will be clear of it. So there are no what ifs May all who read this know my thanks for you and my LORD.
