Boxer, Anthony Joshua reveals why he prayed for God instead of himself

Professional British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua has disclosed why he chooses to pray for God, instead of praying for himself.

While most people would normally pray and make supplications to God for their needs, Anthony Joshua has deviated from the norm by praying FOR God.

Taking to Snapchat, the two-time heavyweight champion revealed that he prayed for God because it’s good to also protect those who protect us, howbeit small our effort might seem.

According to him, during his night prayers, he prayed for God to be healed and blessed.

He wrote,

“I spoke to my sister on the phone as I was preparing to sleep and she told me “make sure you pray tonight”

So tonight I prayed for God

I normally pray for myself, my family & my friends etc. but tonight I prayed for God and his healing

We got to look out for the ones who we expect 2 always look out for us!

Dear God… I pray for your healing and blessings.

Ameen.”

This has stirred mixed reactions online as netizens share their thoughts about one praying for God.

God has emotions too and he wants our heart, care and love too.”
