And yet, we allow our walk through life to throw us into confusion. We abandon the one who we are meant to follow. We start the race but look for every short cut along the way. We place our hope and give our devotion to temporal things that do not satisfy. Forgive us for the many ways we turn to other things and not to You. Have mercy on us and enable us to run the race well. Cast aside our sin and carry us to the finish line so that we may see Your face in this life and in glory.
