Lord,
I am weary and don’t know when this “race” will end in my life. I feel like I’ve been running forever, trying to outrun this trial. Help me to stop trying to outrun my pain but rather run with endurance the race you have set before me. I know that because of you I am ultimately a victor over the trials in my life. I know that nothing in this world can separate me from your steadfast love.
Please give me a measure of your love today; give me the strength to endure this trial. Thank you for your love for me that never ends! And thank you for the crown of joy that awaits me forever in your Kingdom!

It’s hard to run when you’re looking back over your shoulder, especially if all you see is pain or guilt chasing you. If you’re looking back, it will not be long before you stumble or run off course. When you are tempted to look back, take a moment to turn Jesus as he stands before you.
God promises to renew the strength of those who wait on Him. When you meditate on His love and His promise, He supplies the breath of His Spirit and renewed focus to see the finish line and the promised prize He has set before you.
