“Monday Night Football” game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was suspended and they knelt to pray for God's Help and Mercy
For Damar Hamlin

Matthew 16:17,18

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! 

For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, 

but by My Father in heaven. 

18 And I tell you that you are Peter, 

and on this rock 

I will build My church, 

and 

the gates of Hades will not prevail 

against it.

RECAP:

“Monday Night Football” game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was suspended in the first quarter after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed after a hit and was taken off the field by ambulance.

Hamlin, 24, received CPR on the field, according to ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” announcers. ESPN reporters described the sight of Bills players opening weeping as the team gathered on the field. About 23 minutes after Hamlin collapsed, Bills coach Sean McDermott and Bengals coach Zac Taylor conferred and called a temporary suspension of the game. 

Hamlin is a second-year NFL player and was in his second season with the Bills. He was transported to the nearest trauma center to Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati. ESPN announcer Joe Buck prayed and reported that Hamlin’s mother was on hand for the game and accompanied him to the hospital.

The Rock is faith. 

Bitterness and Blessing

Naomi tells us she is bitter. Call her Mara, bitterness.

The Scriptures tell us of a word very similar to Mara, bitterness.

Genesis 22:14

 Abraham called the name of that place Mar-Yah Will Provide. As it is said to this day, "On Mar-Yah's mountain, it will be provided."

Genesis 28:15 

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, 

and I will bring you back to this land. 

I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

We have faced a substantial increase in heart attacks, but have not heard definitively why this increase has occurred, this was announced by life insurance companies who reported a 40% increase in deaths of the 35 to 60-year-old age.  Lots of conjecture. 

However, when this happened on National NFL Prime Time Football. Everyone stopped to Pray Diligently. And the USA felt better for this

1 Corinthians 1:8 

“He will also keep you firm to the end, 

so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

All this Prayer

and

How is Damar Hamlin? 

Hamlin’s release came five days after his doctors 

said the player was breathing on his own, walking, talking 

and 

showing no signs of neurological damage.

Hamlin is being watched over by his parents and “remains very upbeat and grateful for the support he’s received from his teammates and coaches, Bills Mafia and people from around the world.” 

That outpouring of support has led to Hamlin’s charitable foundation, Chasing M’s, raising nearly $9 million in donations.

2 Corinthians 9:11

You will be enriched in every way to be generous 

on every occasion, 

so that through us your giving 

will produce thanksgiving to God.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Remarkable as Damar Hamlin’s recovery has been, the Buffalo Bills safety still faces a lengthy rehabilitation some three weeks after going into cardiac arrest and needing to be resuscitated on the field during a game in Cincinnati, his marketing representative told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

“Damar still requires oxygen and is having his heart monitored regularly to ensure there are no setbacks or after effects,” Jordon Rooney said. “Though he is able to visit the team’s facility, Damar is not in position to travel often, and requires additional rest to help his body heal.”

Rooney provided the update to emphasize Hamlin still faces hurdles giving perspective to comments made by Bills coach Sean McDermott, who on Wednesday said Hamlin has begun making regular visits to the team’s facility. 

2 Corinthians 1:11 

You also must help us by prayer, 

so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing 

granted us 

through the prayers of many.

Romans 15:30

Now I urge you, brothers, 

by our Lord Jesus Christ 

and by the love of the Spirit, 

to join me in my struggle 

by praying to God for me.

Philippians 1:6 

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you 

will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 11:14 

For lack of guidance a nation falls, 

but victory is won through many advisers.

Abba, Father,

You, Our Father, has loved us so much that 

we are called children of God. 

And we really are His Children!

John, Your Beloved Disciple calls You, "God of Love." 

 The willingness to do the right action even at a cost. 

Knowing You are giving more than what  would have been done for you.

 Loyalty. Endurance. Recreating a spark. 

Remembering past gratitude. Adherence. Care. Constancy. 

Dependability, trustworthy, giving truth.

Gentleness - tenderness and kindness.

Paul calls You, "God of encouragement!"

Comfort, delight, elation, glee,

 humor, pride, satisfaction, wonder, exultation, frolic, 

gladness, gratification, indulgence, merriment, 

rejoicing, revelry, and good humor.

We pray rightly over Christians

Please You Bless us and Keep us,
Make Your Face Joyfully Shine upon us,
Be Gracious to Damar and your children!

May we Lift up Your Face to Smile upon us.
Cover us in Your Peace, the Very Peace of You, Our God, Knowing Your
Willing Plan for a Hope and Future.

To place the Name of Jesus in our souls. Jesus before us,
Jesus behind us, Jesus Living Water pouring and flowing surround us and those we Love. Help us to Seek You First. Dwell with us.

Dwell in those we Love.

Help us to seek You first.

Help us to have more Heaven upon earth, please Jesus,

pray with us and hear our prayer.

The Blessing of Jesus upon Damar

and upon us, we pray. 

For all the Times You've 

Helped Thank You.

Alleluia and Amen in Jesus Christ.
