England's Chris Powell:"The Lord is Around Me at All Times"

|PIC1|Charlton Athletic defender, Chris Powell, first played for England in the 3-0 win over Spain in 2001, he went on to win 5 England caps. His faith in Jesus Christ helps him to cope with pressures of playing football at the highest level:

It gives me a sort of inner-peace, a sort of well-being. I live my life for this way, and that’s because of the Lord and what has happened, and what he done to save me, and save everyone.

It gives me a great joy to know that the Lord is around me at all times, and I can pray for things whether it is good or bad that’s happened in my football career, because that does happen; you have a good game, you have a bad game. But having that Christian faith just helps me along with the good and the bad times, I know he is there at all times.
