Father,
I understand that looking down when walking helps me kick away the rocks or walk around the puddles that come my way
but will not get me ready to face walls or pits
that I was to run up and jump over.
grant me Your wisdom to lift my chin a little higher when I walk,
Your strength to run forward when I see an obstacle,
Your courage to not be afraid of facing the rocks and puddles head on if need be,
and Your love so that I keep running.
