A clean heart create from me O Eternal God, and a steadfast spirit renew within me. Psalm 51:12

As a runner and a writer I reflect often on the subject of endurance Convinced that physical and spiritual endurance are connected I link the two together We have to train to cultivate endurance in ordinary times Raqn 6 marathons and 1 ultra marathon In every race have reached a point where I came to my limit, end of myself Keep in mind that this usually happens Sometime prior to finish line It is that point that I physically feel That Eternal God is carrying me He is the only source of a steadfast spirit Whatever you face in your day today Don’t lose heart Don’t lose steam Know that Eternal God goes before you Creating a clean heart A fresh perspective Giving you strength to endure 4212014
