Soul of a Christian Triathlete: How do one know...

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

How do I know what I enjoy is what God wants rather than what I, selfish, fleshly desires?

What if what I am 'enjoying' doing is from my fleshly desire? How does one discern that than what glorify God?

Lord, may I race not for prestiege or medal.

For one doesn't satisfy and the other rust.

May people not see my strength, but Your Strength.

May I race free from expectation, from pressure and rejoice in Your Presence.

May Your Spirit work mightily through my broken body.

I am not ashame. For I know You shine the brightest among the brokeness!

I will not be tied down by anything. On the course, it will be me and my Savoiur.

May my performance bring joy in Your Sight.

Not by might. Nor by power. Only by the Spirit.
