good on ya Ablett, unashamed of the gospel, takes a real Man to be honest about his faith. Thanks for showing how its done. Bless ya
The panellists look quite uncomfortable. Ablett seems quite gracious and mature; nice to see a positive presentation by/about a footballer in the media.
Why would Gary pray before a game?, surely football needs to be played on its merits to be fair to both teams. Surely they are not hoping for a fortuitous puff of wind to take a ball through the goals or for the umpire to look after the holy rollers and what if there are Christians playing for the opposing team, seems a little unfair to ask God for his special favour when he has other pilgrims to consider
There is probably a number of very good reasons why Gary prayed.....
Not all prayer is about asking God for something....
We can pray to ask God to help us do our best and to play fairly
We can pray to thank God
We can pray that we glorify God in all we do
We can pray asking for forgiveness
So it is good that Gary prayed and it is good that he publicly and gentley shares hsi reliance on and faith in God
