Runner's Prayer.

Well since I've become a runner. Let me tell you not a professional runner. I still don't consider myself a runner yet all I do is run. I really enjoy it because it is a huge stress relief for me but idk I'm not a runner... not like a professional more recreational. Anyways that is besides the point. I found this on pinterest and a good friends blog I love this little prayer. I printed it off and I hung it by my treadmill. 
It's so amazing because I believe that as we mature in our faith God is Everywhere. Everything we do we can make it all about Him.
 Lately I've been watching movies while I run and last year I was given some very good advice from a real runner! He said I should watch movies or listen to podcasts while I run. So I started listening probably last May when I was training for Dam to Dam. I started listening to sermons while I run. It has been sooo cool to just get that extra dip that day and use that time for God. I know what you're thinking there is no way you can run and 'pray' or listen to a sermon while you run. I love it and think it's a great way to get some good old God time in and a nice run... If you're a runner try it! 

Runner's Prayer
Run by my side;
live in my heartbeat;
give strength to my steps.
As the cold surrounds,
as the wind pushes me,
I know you surround me.
As the sun warms me,
as the rain clenses me,
I know you are touching me,
challenging me, loving me.
And so I give you this run.
Thank you for matching my stride.

Amen.
