Good Morning!! Paul compares our journey of faith, with running. He also prods us to get rid of the things that hinder us in our spiritual lives. The two go together.
For [Christ's] sake I have thrown everything away; I consider it all as mere garbage, so that I may gain Christ and be completely united with him.—Philippians 3:8-9 (TEV)
As we seek a good relationship with God, we find that there are obstacles to our faith,...fear, arrogance, resentment, prejudice, bitterness, negative attitudes, and so on. These and more, get in the way. As we get rid of them, we can move on and grow in our faith.
Whatever obstacles to our growing in faith, that may encounter,
...can and should be taken to God in prayer.
Our Lord, our God, when we feel that we are not making progress in knowing You more fully, help us to recognize the obstacles that block our way and then to ask Your help in removing them. Amen.
"At the heart of the Christian message is God Himself,
...waiting for His redeemed children."
