God and sports

[newwest]

Often times i have observed players in a soccer team coming together before the start of a soccer match to "pray" before the kick off of their match against an opponent.

I'm always baffled and i need to ask, do you think God involves himself in things like soccer and other sports?

Its the belief and each and everyone have their own method to boost themselves and keep the spirits high. Well there are sayings too that when all come together and send the positive vibes the universe listens more quicker than individual doing it. Now if something has worked for someone they will continue to do it and rest will not.

The CREATOR will definitely be involved if the activity is good and beneficial to people. HE cares so much about our wellbeing... It's just that humanity have been so blinded and forgotten how loving HE is.

I believe HE will answer such prayers if there are good reasons to... For example, a humble underdog team playing against a proud, more skilled and godless one. GOD can miraculously intervene in this case to humble the proud team and lift up the humble one

The humble, underdog team should have been out there doing mission work rather than playing in sports.

It's the same with basketball players. Some in the NBA does that and there's question with it.

Whether you believe in Him or not, it's about the guidance that's being asked and every religion or belief must get respected. We do respect those that don't even believe but mocks our belief.

[Xinarae*]

We need to have faith in god for everything not just sports you can pray to him before the game he can save us from all kinds of dangers if he wants. And can land where god sends a lot of the time the game depends on luck so he can win us if he wants it is our duty to honor god, and to follow the path he has shown us so always think positive thinking makes life easier. Life is not complicated doubt and disbelief cause us to forget our responsibilities to each other.

[peter0425]

it is for the guidance and safeties that they are asking , best to have faith than nothing at all.

so Players mostly prays before going to battle .

To believe that God is going to help you in sports is to have the same primitive thinking of those tribes that prayed or offered sacrifices for it to rain. God, supposing that something similar exists, does not have any kind of intervention in natural phenomena. He does not influence whether it rains or stops, or the outcome of a sporting event.

let them do their prayers and stop questioning their Gods , because they dont care about yours also.

In many beliefs is "God can move mountains so yes God is involving Himself for those who believes and follow his footsteps .

It does not matter. Prayers are not always meant to seek God’s intervention. A prayer can take many forms, just as there are many states of the soul.

I believe it is not only about winning, what the players will pray more about is for the match to be successful, if they are praying for a match to be successful, I think it is not bad at all. I will consider praying that their team should win will not be useful as both teams prayed, but for the match to be successful, praying about it is not bad if they want. Only the stronger team will have more chances to win the match, though there are few cases which makes matches unpredictable.

The paradox is that all these primitive rituals give their performers confidence. Naturally, belief in everything supernatural is irrational, but in fact, if a person believes that someone or something is helping him, he becomes more self-confident and achieves really better results. Therefore, I would not argue that this behavior is meaningless.

Whatever helps them play well & keep strong, I don’t judge. Maybe they had a relative die & it’s a way of trying to connect with that loved one. God most likely doesn’t involve himself in sports but there’s no harm in them doing. Life is hard enough, if it gives them belief & maybe an extra 1% on the field then good luck to them.

Its more of like that only. There is nothing wrong if they pray before doing something like kicking the ball. You might think that it's pointless but it's almost the same as giving high five and tapping each other when they achieve points. But these high fives are just like cheering for each other.

It's just giving respect to what people believe in is going to make you respectable as well. In a company I work for months, the Muslims are getting few more breaks because they normally pray several times a day which they are to face to some direct to kneel and because of this we all get to have a break.

I think football has nothing to do with God. Football is a team game, if you are compatible and in good condition, you will win, if not, you will lose. it's that simple!

I think God is always present for all people including athletes.

If people want to pray it is fine but no player should feel obligated to participate in prayer.

God works in mysterious ways but I don't think prayer will directly affect the game's outcome.

If you truly believe i think this will come your way ,and also you must need practice and dedication because no matter how prayers you do but you don't exceed efforts for that there is no way you can achieve such.

The human existence and his movements are the clear signs & proof of God. The Question is that Whose order is behind the movement, success, defeat, and achievement of humans, and whose order is behind the death and return of humans. Because no one wants to go to die or defeat with his own free will but there is the order of some great force whose order cannot be rejected. Human is not completely authorized in his all matters. He always seeks help and sport. He prays to God in the worries and difficult times. He finds satisfaction in mentioning God. Human existence is meaningless & proofless without God. Man needs the help of God in all kinds of work may be games, jobs, studies, teaching, speech, and research, etc. And it is said," God helps those who help themselves".

it's about trust and when that trust strengthens then power will be created...

not only NBA players, but many soccer players also before the game starts. it is taught in almost all religions to pray before starting anything. I am a Christian and we are taught to always pray even when leaving the house.

Its all about faith and trust in God that empowers human to deliver to his best abilities, whether it is sports or any other field of life. Having said that it is also important that we exert our best efforts to get the best results whatever task we do and then seek support of God . God always helps those who help themselves.

[ethereumhunter]

They pray to God ask for help to have a good performance during the match to win. I believe God involves in all aspects of our lives, not just in soccer and other sports. So that is normal if you always pray to God before you doing something because you want God to guard you, protect you, and give you the best.
