The Buffalo Bills chose to respond to this tragic circumstance with prayer. Let’s join them in lifting Hamlin up to the Lord.

From CBN News. Buffalo defensive back Damar Hamlin was in critical condition early Tuesday after the Bills say he suffered a cardiac arrest on the field after making a tackle hours earlier, leading to the indefinite postponement of Buffalo’s pivotal Monday night showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Connect with others in your state in prayer.

 

“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,” the Bills said in a statement. “He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition.”

Many fellow NFL players and teams and others in the sports world and beyond quickly offered their support and prayers on social media for the Buffalo Bills safety. ESPN reported Hamlin was administered CPR on the field before being taken away in an ambulance.

Hamlin collided with Bengals receiver Tee Higgins after a completion. He got to his feet, appeared to adjust his face mask with his right hand, and then fell backward about three seconds later and lay motionless.

Hamlin was surrounded by stunned players from both teams, and when he was taken off the field 16 minutes later, the Bills gathered in prayer.

While medical personnel were gathered around Hamlin, his uniform was cut off and he appeared to be getting CPR. ESPN reported on its telecast that Hamlin was also given oxygen. He was strapped to a backboard and moved into the ambulance.

“No one’s been through this,” longtime NFL quarterback Troy Aikman said on the ESPN telecast. “I’ve never seen anything like it, either.”

The game was suspended 21 minutes after the injury, and players walked off the field slowly.

The 24-year-old Hamlin spent five years of college at Pitt — his hometown — and appeared in 48 games for the Panthers over that span. He was a second-team All-ACC performer as a senior, was voted a team captain and was picked to play in the Senior Bowl.

He was drafted in the sixth round by the Bills in 2021, played in 14 games as a rookie and then became a starter this year once Micah Hyde was lost for the season to injury.

Entering the game, the 6-foot, 200-pound Hamlin had 91 tackles, including 63 solo tackles, and 1 1/2 sacks. …

Precious Father, Giver of Life and every single one of our heart beats, be with this young man and his family. Comfort and heal, as only You can. May Your perfect Will be done.

I cannot seem to get the image, that has gone viral – of many grown men taking a knee and crying out to You – out of my mind tho. May this be a picture of what 2023 will unfold it’s pages to be. A year that our dear country will continue acknowledging, crying out to and worshiping YOU, Father God – boldly! A year of humbling ourselves, prayer, repentance and turning back to You.

FATHER GOD please heal the electrical systems in Damar Hamlin’s heart! If he has something like Wolfe Parkinson White Syndrome, please let it be diagnosed and corrected quickly! I decree that no weapon formed against him shall prosper! We bind this weapon and command it to leave immediately in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

Could this be from the wicked vaccine they all took to play a game? My prayers are for Hamlin. He will recover and know it was his savior Jesus, that spared his life. All the prayers being prayed for him Jesus heard. Thank you Lord you seek and save the lost.

My heart goes out to Damar, his family, and his teammates and friends. A young, healthy, strong athlete–this just shouldn’t happen.

Has anyone considered whether this could be related to the Covid vaccine? NFL players were required to get the jab in order to play. We know that the so-called vaccine causes heart issues in young men. From what I understand, there has been a huge increase in strong, young athletes like Damar suddenly dropping dead during games. Watch the movie Died Suddenly.

Thank You, Father, for Your great compassion and mercy toward us all. “The Lord is good to all, and His compassion is over all that He has made.” Psalm 145. Bless Damar with returning health, and a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Raise him up to be a light for Your kingdom, and draw many into Your family through him. Comfort and strengthen his family, and give them Your peace that passes all understanding. In Jesus’ precious Name, Amen.

I do not know who Carlos Wittaker. is but went to his Twitter page as I was curious after reading his prayer. He has posted many and to each one, Amen!

✝️Restore and renew his body back to kingdom order. Thank you that your word says you came to heal us all and so we bring the full work on the cross, especially your resurrection power over Damar’s body. Father, I also pray for his parents Mario & Nina Hamlin right now.

✝️We bind in the name of Jesus all fear. Thank you for healing. It is who you are, so we invite you into their home, their minds, every space their spirit, soul, minds, hearts, bodies and wills. Fill them today with your presence. Heal Damar. Heal him…In Jesus name. Amen

✝️I bring the full work of Christ against the enemy and his lies. We bind the lies filled with worry in the name of Jesus. We bring your peace and truth to flood Mario, Nina, & his family’s soul. We bind any words of chaos that the enemy may be whispering and send them to Jesus.
