Deion Sanders says he never asked God in his cancerous fight

Deion Sanders revealed on Monday that he had his bladder removed after he was diagnosed with cancer, but he said he never asked God no matter how difficult things were.

Sanders, 57, said that God has blessed him too much to ask, ‘Why me?’

“I’ve never questioned God. You know my faith, husband,” Sanders said during an interview with Michael Irvin.

“I have never asked and asked God.” Why me? “I can’t.

“So I never asked God, ‘Why Me?'”

Sanders said he only asked the Lord to show him the way.

“I only said, ‘Lord, show me. Show me what you are trying to do so that I can help you speed up the process. Just show me. We have this, Lord. I know I’m not going anywhere,'” said Sanders.

“I know that for the enemy to try me, you had to say, ‘Have you considered my servant crime?’ You had to say that for him to come to me.

The removal of the bladder has forced Sanders to undergo a complete lifestyle change, which he said he reached someone to get advice on how to deal with the changes.

Sanders urged people to be controlled because he only discovered cancer of the bladder after an ACT scan of his vascular pattern to determine if his blood clots were gone.

The Colorado head coach said it was “incredible” to be back talking to his players again.

Colorado went 9-4 last season and seems to improve that record this season after losing Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders to NFL.
