'You Got To Be Consistent With God': Quarterback Lamar Jackson PRAISES God For His Success, Encourages Consistent Prayer In People's Lives

Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson recently attended a press conference discussing his team and his new record-breaking five-year contract with the team. During the conference, Jackson spoke of the incredible effect God and prayer have had on him, his life, and his career as a professional football player.

At the press conference, which was hosted on May 4th, Lamar laid out his goals as a quarterback. He is planning to finish his time with the Baltimore Ravens and “win a Super Bowl here.”

After the conference, Jackson took to Twitter where he posted, “THANK GOD” along with the hashtag “cantthankhimenough.”

This should not come as a major surprise, as Jackson has previously shown his devout faith as a Christian. Per Christian Headlines, Jackson previously appeared on ‘The Wunderkind Show’ encouraging kids who have struggled academically or to make sports teams to “keep God first.”
“You gotta keep God first [and] pray to God. You gotta be consistent with God,” Jackson said “It’s not like making a wish … like seeing a shooting star. … It’s not just one time. He’s gotta pay attention to all of us, [so] it’s not just you praying to God. All of us [are] praying to God.”

Jackson has found immense success as a player, being the current highest-paid player in the entire NFL. Jackson was also the youngest player to ever receive the Heisman trophy, which he got during his sophomore year at LSU. During his speech accepting the award, he thanked God and his “Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” Jackson added that “without him, none of this would be possible.”

Jackson's praise does a lot to establish a good role model for younger children. So many kids look to influencers and YouTubers as their role models nowadays, people who are very lost in their success, chasing hedonistic ideas.

Lamar Jackson provides a good alternative. He’s an immensely successful person but still infinitely humble in his success, putting the greater cause of the Lord above himself. Jackson will be an outstanding example to his audience of the righteousness that comes with living a life with the Lord at the forefront.
