DAY 2 THERE’S A SCRIPTURE FOR THAT Teddy Bridgewater Pro Bowl Quarterback Carolina Panthers By Del Duduit

The L will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the L will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. —Psalm 121:7–8 NIV

Everyone has struggles and challenges in life. Sickness does not discriminate or care if you are a player in the NFL or work a 9-5 job in a small town. No matter who you are or what you do, chances are you will encounter a problem at some point in your life. Teddy Bridgewater had some setbacks early in life, but his biggest struggle in life wasn’t with something that happened to him. His mother, Rose, fought cancer, and won by the grace of God. But in those tough days, some of which were grim, he observed how she never lost hope, and it inspired him. “She told me to never give up hope,” he said. “She told me no matter what, to always be happy and stay humble and keep a smile on your face. She always said that.” 6
