NEW: Jets QB Justin Fields speaks about his faith in Jesus Christ after being benched, says he is going to use the opportunity to spread God's Word.
"I've always asked God to give me an opportunity and a platform to spread His Word and sometimes it doesn't play out the way you always plan it."
"I think the position I'm in right now is a great opportunity to spread that message."
"God's been with me through the ups and downs and, I'm probably at a low right now..."
"My faith is so rooted in Christ to where nothing can break me..."
"As far as my job goes here, I'm gonna be the same. I'm going to come to work the same ... And again, just try to continue to spread that message of how good God is..."
Dear Lord,
Today, as the sun rises, I just want to say thank You. Not for anything flashy—just for breath in my lungs and peace in my space. Help me recognize the beauty in what I already have. Let my heart stay grateful, my words stay kind, and my energy lift others. You said in Your Word, “In everything give thanks” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)—so I’m choosing gratitude on purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen🙏🏾
