Here’s the thing I think of lot of people don’t get: Tebow’s not praying to win games. He’s not praying to be the best; He’s not praying to be an idol or an icon. He’s praying that, win or loss, God be glorified. He’s praying for wisdom on the field, words to say to his team and the leadership ability it takes to be a starting quarterback in a playoff game vs. the defending AFC champs and reigning Super Bowl leaders. He’s praying for grace, for a clear head and for a straight heart. Tim Tebow isn’t praying to make it to the Super Bowl. He’s praying that God’s will be done. That’s probably hard to understand, if you don’t already get it. And I know, I know. You think he’s arrogant. You think he’s full of it. You think he’s a fool. But I think a lot more Christians need to pray like Tim Tebow. Instead of praying for a top-notch score on an exam, how about praying for clarity of mind while you’re studying? Instead of praying for God’s safety on trips—what would it look like of we prayed for God’s glory to be shown through ANY and all circumstances? Instead of praying for our fate, what if we prayed for God’s grace as we stumbled through figuring out what exactly that is? What if instead of praying for greatness, we prayed for humility along the way? What’s funny about the haters is that their words are fulfilling the answer to his prayers: Your words are spreading God’s name through the earth. And that … Is just sweet, sweet irony.
