“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
"Life is a Marathon, not a sprint!" (Philip McGraw) is a famous quote meant to convey the idea that "things take time" and we must "endure" or have "endurance and persevere" as we maneuver through life. It is true. However, what also is true is that life is a series of practices or training sessions, that include doing multiple reps and sets that require brief moments of focus and effort that are followed by a short rest or recovery to allow adaptation and growth and then soon comes another bout of stress that is meant to make us better. Life is a marathon but is is also a very long practice that not only requires a lot of effort resilience but it will soon provide rest once that "rep" or "set" is completed.
Lord, give me the strength to endure the long practice ahead of me and help me to realize that You are always there to be my Coach and my Training Partner.
