Trust God to Help You Run, and Win, Life's Race (2.9.14)

Beloved,

A runner will train for months at a time to prepare for a big race. 

Have you spent a lot of time training and preparing for the race that lies ahead of you? 

There is much that a runner can prepare themselves for before the race. 

However, there are some things that will be different when they finally start to run the race. 

The circumstances are always unique, the weather could be different from what they are used to training in and the track may not be the same as the one they used when training.

You have trained, and now you’re ready to take on the race ahead of you. 

However, just know My child, circumstance may arise that could be different 

than they were when you trained. 

There might be a turn that you didn't anticipate, 

or a hurdle that you thought was gone, may suddenly appear. 

The best way to be prepared for the challenges and changes that lie ahead, 

is to run the race with Me.

You cannot always rely on your training, or the preparation you have gone through alone.

You must and need to trust in Me. 

You must allow Me to be the Coach, all the way through this race. 

If you will just rely on Me from start to finish, and not your own ideas, 

you will master this race very easily.

You must be willing to let some of your ideals go, 

so that I can show you My picture of the race. 

You must surrender your solutions of how to overcome the hurdles, 

so that I can give you My wisdom and show you My ways. 

As you allow your own ideas and plans to die, 

a greater visions will come forth. 

You will receive My vision and it will be greater than anything you can ever imagine. 

The race will be so much smoother and more enjoyable when you run it with Me, 

depending on My power and anointing all the way through.

My Child, let us run this race together. 

So now, walk up to that starting line, 

take a deep breath and brace yourself for a wonderful race. 

Start.  And know that I, the Coach, am with you.

Know that I will be with you until the very end. 

Trust Me, and let’s finish this race…together.

Hebrews 12:1-2 - Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.

Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ
