At times, is it just by knowing that God is with you, the principles behind everything that you're doing, or having that connection with God & that will kept you running and persevering on?

or when you know that there's

a friend that is gonna be there to run together with you no matter what happens which also keeps you wanna run even further and go even more.

i don't want to drown in my own sorrows,

Lord, give me a new heart with faith and confidence that stands strong.
Throw away the heart that's irritably soft and weak. I seek of your presence every single day upon my life, amen.
