On track with God
Originally appeared online in the teen series: Your Healings - March 28, 2018
I have always loved running, and track was a highlight of my high school career. I competed in the sprints, including the 400 meters, the 200 meters, and both sprint relays. My junior year, I even qualified to run in the California Winter State Championships.
In the weeks leading up to the meet, I was dealing with a flood of fear and negative thoughts about my races. This seemed to be a mental pattern for me prior to any important competition. Though I would run well during practices, and complete all the physical training to be successful on meet day, I’d find myself bogged down by fear whenever I would think about my races.
In the week leading up to the race, instead of letting myself be overwhelmed with fear or negativity, I consistently allowed the qualities of God to fill my thoughts.
