Praying In Hard Times

Today I am deciding to touch on a new subject. This subject is sports, many people say that participating in sports does not help your growth in God. I am here today to tell everyone that it can. An athlete can grow closer to God if he gets injured and he wishes for a speedy recovery, he could pray to God for that. A great example of this was last week during the NCAA tournament game Duke vs. Louisville. The point guard for Louisville, Kevin Ware fell awkwardly on his leg and suffered a very gruesome injury. Arguably one of the worst in all of sports. Although this injury is a major setback in his athletic life, it's the opposite for his spiritual life. As well as his teammates spiritual life. During this time in recovery Kevin Ware has a unique opportunity to reflect on his life outside of basketball, also be able to inspire other people that suffer a major injury, but most importantly grow in his relationship with God. The main point that I am trying to get across is that people can learn about their faith in many different ways, it does not only have to be in a classroom or in the Church. It could be anywhere, and in this example it was in a gymnasium.
