Him what to do. Nor does He promise to automatically give us whatever we ask. God is a good Father. He is not a holy vending machine. Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts has been open about his faith. Here, he looks to pass during the Official I only accept apologies in cash T-shirt but in fact I love this first half of an NFL football game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2022, in Philadelphia.

The Bible tells us not to be anxious but “in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6 ESV). Prayer is not a performance before God in which we pretend to be someone else. It’s an honest conversation with God. Author C.S. Lewis put it this way, “We must lay before Him what is in us, not what ought to be in us.” God invites us to be candid and ask Him for what we truly desire. There’s a classic story that the late pastor Adrian Rogers used to tell from his days in Florida. Someone in his church gave him a large bag of delicious oranges to eat, which he stored in his hall closet. Then one day he noticed a boy climbing over his fence to steal an orange from his back yard. What the boy didn’t know was — those were sour orange trees. A delicious orange from the closet could have been his, if only he had asked. The Bible does say, “You do not have because you do not ask” (James 4:2 NIV) If there will be any regrets in heaven it

So, if you want the Chiefs to win, you can put that before God. If you want the Eagles to win, you should really rethink your life choices — but you can still ask for that as well! There’s no fooling God or hiding from Him. You can just tell Him how you feel. He already knows. But first I need to offer a few caveats. Prayer is not a magic formula. It doesn’t guarantee your team a win. (Trust me, I live in Dallas and our prayers have not been answered for decades!) There is a larger question, though, about whether God even cares about something like a football game. With earthquakes and wars and pandemics to worry about, does God concern Himself with a game? Again, I think the answer is yes. We know God is sovereign, which means He “works all things after the counsel of His will” (Ephesians 1:11 NASB). “All things” includes the outcome of football games. We may not know how one team’s win and another’s defeat fits within the plans of God, but we can trust that they do. God’s plan involves the most minute details of life from the outcome of a football game to the timing of
