Today’s Verse:
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize." - 1 Corinthians 9:24
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Running is like carrying on to do work with endurance, and never quit until we see the finish line. Father, for how many times we manage to preservere through circumstances? For us, Christians, quitting is not an option, but we do think about quiting, due to the delays and disappointments along the way. Father, give us hope, grant us peace and let us win victory over situations through long fight, through Your love and blessings.
Victor Frankl says, "Everyone's most basic need is an answer to this question: the question of meaning. The men who had some answer, any answer, usually survived, and those who didn't didn't. The physically strongest were not the ones who always survived. Many doctors see that the Will to survive is the great unpredictable factor in recovery. That is the mind over matter. But there is another step: the will to live requires a reason to live. If you have a reason to
live, you also have a reason to suffer, to endure suffering. If life has a meaning, suffering has a meaning too. Nietzsche: a man can endure any how, if only he has a why. You can endure even in Auschwitz, if only you have an ultimate reason for it. For some, it was revenge, some, work, some, family, some, God."
"Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
