If you ask God to win a marathon, He will send a pair of shoes, not a medal. When you ask God for victory, He won't hand you the finish line, He will give you what you need to get there. Not a medal, but the strength to run, the patience to keep going, and the courage to not give up when it gets hard. Because real success is not something handed to you, it's something you build step by step. Every struggle is part of the training, every delay has a purpose. So don't feel discouraged if it's taking time. Trust that God is preparing you, not denying you. Lace up, keep moving, and believe that one day, you'll reach the finish line stronger than ever.
