After over one hour
Of fruitless scripture reading and prayer
by the shoreline of His majestic beauty,
I gave up and let go of trying so hard to find g_d
Forced readings and prayers fell flat
Too tired to go on with any words past
a few memorized verses, I went blank
a sigh with regret and sense of failure
I got up from the sandy secret spot
and started to walk
forwards into the sand
He spoke to me in the still small place
"Run the race,"
As I looked down and saw all the footprints of
the people who went before me
running their own race
one foot in front of the other
…let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith… Hebrews 12:1-2, NKJV
