As believers, at times the paths we take prove to be difficult and hard to navigate. Some of us get to the place we feel we can’t go on any further and want to either stop or turn back. I remember when I used to run track and the pain in my side would be so grueling I just felt as though I could go no further. But as I continued running that race the pain dissipated. So we must do as children of God. Though the path may be painstaking with Him in the race with us, if we keep our eyes on the prize, the pain will soon dissipate. And just like Paul, we will be able to say…”I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7 NKJV) Here is a prayer we hope will help you along your path…

LORD, You know my heart better than any other. You know what I believe and what I don’t believe. You know my character, my strengths, my weaknesses, and everything about me—even every thought. Help me to know myself. Help me to firmly know what I believe about You. Never let me turn my back on You. Help me to see You are the truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
