I run. I run to God first, get on my knees, and pray.

I run to God first for prayers, even when my friends mistreat me. Praise Immanuel and hallelujah!!

I run to God first for prayers, even when my friends judge and misunderstand me. Praise Immanuel and hallelujah!!

I run to God first for prayers, even when my friends gossip and lie about me behind my back without coming to me first to seek the truth. Praise Immanuel and hallelujah!!

I run to God first for prayers, even when my best friend does deals with the devil (without knowing that she did) and with my enemies behind my back (without knowing that they are indeed my enemies and not my friends) because in Christ, I find everlasting peace. Praise Immanuel and hallelujah!!

I run to God first for prayers, even though my best friend decides that I’m unworthy to be in her presence and time and sees me as worthless and a waste of time. In Christ, I find true and eternal joy! Praise Immanuel and hallelujah!!

I run to God first for prayers, even though my best friend has betrayed me, I pray for her to change! I pray for her to see where she erred with God and in our friendship! I pray for God to open up her eyes to see me as the jewel that she tarnished openly and in private and stop my light of Jesus from shining out of jealousy of the heart for God that I carry…because now, I glow brighter than ever before, in Jesus’ name! Praise Immanuel and hallelujah!!

I run. I run to God first because in Christ, He brings the darkness to light…sets the captives free…brings healing, restoration, and forgiveness to my life, and sets the example for my best friend to purify her heart so that she can see my God for herself and bow before my Lord and Savior first, in Jesus’ name. Let His light shine bright within me for her and all to see, in Jesus’ name. To God be my vision. Amen!
