NFL Legend Asks for Prayer Amid Health Battle
No matter how powerful or popular a person may be, health has a way of humbling us all. When illness strikes, it disregards wealth, status or influence, forcing us to confront our deepest vulnerabilities. In these moments, what we truly believe is revealed—not in the accolades we’ve earned or the followers we’ve gained, but in the foundation upon which our hope rests. Health crises often strip away the distractions of success, exposing whether our belief system is built on fleeting comforts or enduring truths.
This is what NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss is now facing, as he requested prayer for an undisclosed health scenario he is facing alongside his family.
Moss revealed that he is “battling something internally” on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” before a national audience, and that this may lead to him wearing sunglasses in the studio.

“I just wanted to let the viewers know that me and my wife, me and my family, we are battling something internally,” Moss shared. “I have some great doctors around me. I couldn’t miss the show. I wanted to be here with you guys. I feel great.
“But if y’all see me with these Michigan turnover glasses that I have on, it’s not being disrespectful because I’m on television, man. I’m battling something. I need all the prayer warriors.”
As reported by The New York Post:
While Moss didn’t reveal what specifically he’s battling, he did encourage people to “do your checkups, get your bloodwork done” in the Instagram video—adding that this has occurred “throughout the week of the holidays.”
God reveals Himself as Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, offering His compassion and power to all who turn to Him in faith. Whether someone is a celebrated figure like Moss or an unknown individual without family, God’s love and healing touch are not limited by stature or circumstance. He sees every person, hears every prayer and responds to those who call on His name. In His presence, we find the assurance that no one is beyond His care.
Let us unite in prayer for Randy Moss and his family as they navigate this undisclosed health challenge. May the Lord, in His mercy, bring healing, comfort and peace. We ask that through this trial, God’s glory would be revealed and His name lifted high, demonstrating His power and love to all who witness His work.
