NFL Player Shares Faith In Teammate’s Healing
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery expressed his faith in God’s protection over his teammate Aidan Hutchinson after Hutchinson sustained a serious injury during a game against the Dallas Cowboys. In a postgame interview, Montgomery shared that he immediately turned to prayer when Hutchinson was hurt, asking God to cover and protect him. Montgomery’s confidence in his faith reassured him that God would take care of his injured teammate.
Following the injury, the Lions provided an update on Hutchinson’s condition, confirming that he had undergone successful surgery to repair fractures in his tibia and fibula. Although there is no specific timeline for his return, the team expects Hutchinson to make a full recovery. Despite the injury, the Lions went on to win the game 47-9.
Montgomery is known for his strong Christian faith, which he openly shares on his social media platforms. His profile on X (formerly Twitter) prominently features religious references, including a Bible verse from Psalm 27 and the phrase “All in God’s Timing.” He has consistently used his platform to express gratitude for God’s guidance throughout his football career, particularly during his time at Iowa State University, where he first reflected on God’s role in his journey to the NFL.
During a 2022 press conference, Montgomery delved deeper into his faith, explaining that his spiritual journey has given him a sense of peace and purpose. He emphasized that his primary focus is on God, and this faith helps him navigate the challenges of his NFL career. By keeping his eyes on what truly matters, Montgomery believes that God will guide him to where he needs to be.
Montgomery also shared that his reliance on God has eased the pressures of his career. He noted that life’s challenges become much harder when there’s nothing to hold onto, but trusting in God alleviates those burdens. Montgomery believes that with God’s help, he can achieve anything, but without Him, he can do nothing.
