I wholeheartedly agree with Rob (and man, I suck at replying). Humanity, at its best, is still much worse off without His intervention. At its worst, it reeks of sin, misery and death.

I suggest this: The moment that you're at your weakness, pray for strength (or even plead for it). Some of us may feel like we're not fighters or runners, but there are many references to win the fight or win the race for Christ, Who we keep our eyes on. Keep your eyes on Christ, Liz and never stop praying. *hug*
