This morning the path I usually take was blocked by a crane being used to erect the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>I am not a runner; what I know of endurance comes from years of slogging through the mental health problems of my children and spouse. I have friends who have had to push through seemingly endless physical suffering, affliction, addiction or <a href=\"https:\/\/guideposts.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-strength\/5-zarephath-prayers-to-relieve-financial-stress\/\">financial disaster<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the early years of my difficulties I assumed that if I hunkered down and kept going, eventually my problems would be in the past. My prayers for endurance ran along the lines of, \u201cPlease Lord, help me through this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing terribly wrong with that prayer, of course, except that it\u2019s missing a key element: the <a href=\"https:\/\/guideposts.org\/articles\/prayer\/inspirational-prayers\/praying-thy-will-be-done\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cThy will be done\u201d<\/a> that Jesus added in the Garden of Gethsemane. If things did not turn out as I hoped, I still needed and wanted to love Jesus anyway. So I changed my prayer to, \u201cPlease Lord, help me love you more through this.\u201d That put more emphasis on my relationship with God than on the outcome of my particular problem.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of those three little words also changed my perspective about the nature of the marathon I was running. When I was in agony and exhausted, putting love front and center helped me keep my eyes on the prize. It allowed me to look at painful situations as opportunities to <a href=\"https:\/\/guideposts.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/3-ways-to-have-faith-like-jesus\/\">become a bit more like Jesus<\/a>, who knew suffering on a scale I cannot imagine.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I love the New York City Marathon. I can\u2019t fathom how people can run 26+ miles and can\u2019t imagine myself doing the same. It reminds me that being unable to see how to endure extreme pain and difficulty means just one thing: I can\u2019t see how. There may be a way I don\u2019t see yet. There may not. Whatever the case, <a href=\"https:\/\/guideposts.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/stories-of-faith-and-hope\/embracing-the-difficult-path\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I can draw closer to Christ<\/a>, running the good race and keeping the faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My morning walk to work takes me through Central Park, which has been busy lately as construction workers put together viewing stands and pavilions for Sunday\u2019s New York Marathon.
