American football player Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field of play last Monday night after cardiac arrest leaving everyone in silence, resulting in an unexpected and instantaneous reaction: a cry out to God for a healing miracle.
The athletes gathered at center court during the Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game and poured their hearts out to pray for their teammate, who was given two CPRs by paramedics on the ground; This truly amazing move led many more to put themselves on the same page of prayer and faith in Jesus.
The image of all the players forming a prayer circle showed how much God’s favor and help is needed not only in these serious circumstances, but at all times. It also shows how faith can unite people regardless of differences.
“The level of unity, over Damar Hamlin, in an often divided world is awe inspiring.” said former NFL player Emmanuel Acho.
Different pastors and evangelists have said that this moment in sports where love has been poured out is very similar to the manifestation of prayer.
Damar of the Cincinnati Bengals, who is 24 years old, collided with the opposing team’s player, Tee Higgins, receiving a big blow to the chest from which he quickly got up but a few seconds later he passed out.
For 10 minutes, Damar received 10 minutes of CPR on the field while others in distress knelt on the field to pray for him.
“Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a hit in our game versus the Bengals. His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment. He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition,” the Bills announced via a statement.
Different media have reported how NFL fans are stationed outside the hospital where the athlete is, making constant prayer circles in favor of his life.
It is expected, as announced by Dr. Anthony Cardillo, that Damar is coming off the ventilator to breathe on his own after receiving good treatment.
