OPINION: Damar Hamlin’s recovery shows ‘we’re seeing God answer prayer in real time’
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin warms up prior to the game with the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2, 2023, at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, OH.
The shocking sight of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest and then limp body lying out on a football field is a harsh, but instructive, reminder that life is fragile – and we are frail. If an athlete in the prime of his life can nearly die playing a football game, we’re reminded that all of us are living on borrowed time. Crisis and catastrophe cause us to cut through the fog and the fluff of life. It forces us to focus on what’s most important.
Do you know why God put you here? Not far from Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati where the football star collapsed, there are scores of men and women Hamlin’s age desperate for a sense of purpose, many struggling through lives of addiction, violence and hopelessness. In fact, a report last fall found that violent crime among teens in Cincinnati is at a 20-year high.
