Running with God

From the December 2019 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My friend and I enjoy running together and had an opportunity to run a half-marathon. While we had never tried running such a distance and didn’t have a runner’s training plan, the one thing we did have was some understanding of Christian Science. 

I have seen the practice of Christian Science bring strength, healing, and harmony to my health, career, and relationships, so I found it natural to incorporate Christ Jesus’ teachings in my running endeavor. 

No matter what race we are running in our life journey, haven’t we all needed something reliable to help us? Any time I’ve had challenges, the most reliable source of help has been to rely on a higher power, God, just as Jesus taught his disciples to do. In praying to God, I’ve found it helpful to study the Bible for inspiration and guidance.
