Stay in shape.

Stay alert.

Pace yourself.

Keep your eyes on the goal, and never give up.

Life can feel like a very long race at times.

It’s easy to get tired or discouraged when obstacles get in your way, when it feels as though the people running next to you would rather see you fail than succeed.

But, God has a race that’s set just for you. It’s not a saunter through the park. It’s a race that will push you to your full potential.

But keep moving.

God’s cheering you on every step of the way.

Permanence, perseverance, and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities – it is this that in all things distinguishes the strong from the weak.

– Sir Francis Drake
