Runner's Prayer Ten
>> 7/5/10
Our Father,
Some days a pace is found where it seems we could run forever and never tire. We pray this will be one of those days. Should the body become unexpectedly weary, grant us strength of character to persevere until we overcome.
May difficulties be accepted as opportunities rather than burdens to be borne. Lead us to cover the ground of life with the same passion and determination as the distance of this contest.
As we run against time, cause us to reflect on how we spend the moments of this temporary life. Our existence here is brief and for that reason most precious. Help us to embrace each day as a treasured gift and to make the most of the years you provide.
Grant that the experiences encountered in the contest before us will make a positive contribution to the fullness of our lives. May the course ahead provide a wealth of memories that will encourage us through all our days.
Help us to know that holy respiration through which we breathe in the wonder of life which you give and exhale our gratitude for the privilege of making this passage together. May our progress be a living demonstration of your faithful presence and abiding love.
See us through to the end of this day’s journey and beyond.
Amen.
