Popular worship leader Kristian Paul Stanfill is doing pretty well after he was hit by a car recently, according to the pastor of Passion City Church.

Pastor Louie Giglio shared a photo of a smiling Stanfill bearing a thumb's up sign while in the hospital on his Instagram account (@louiegiglio), and captioned it: "Don't let the smile fool you. Could have been a lot worse. KS was hit by a car while running this afternoon. Praise God he's resting at home. Total God-covering and protection. Pls don't text them all at once. Everyone is grateful and recovery is underway."

Meanwhile, his wife Shelley shared a photo of Stanfill with his wife Kerri who are holding hands in the hospital on her Instagram account (@shelleygiglio). She said that the singer will be okay, adding that he sustained "miraculously no broken bones or permanent damage."

She thanked Jesus for his protection and asked people to pray that the pain and soreness will go away quickly.

For his part, Stanfill feels grateful for God's protection as "it could've gone a lot of different ways on Tuesday afternoon."

On his Instagram account (@kpstanfill), the singer posted a photo of flowers and gave it the caption: "We are thanking Jesus for his mercy and protection this week. for everyone asking...I'm ok. nothing serious going on. Just bruised and sore."

Stanfill received an outpouring of love and support from his friends, family, and church family, and he took the time to thank them "for all the flowers, food, phone calls, texts, tweets, visitors, prayers and love coming our way...thank you! we have the best friends, family and church around."
