They say, “Keep the faith.”

Have you ever been on the verge of losing everything?

What if I don’t have any faith right now? What if my head aches and my eyelids are heavy and engorged from relentless tears? What if I can’t tell which way is which or see more than two inches of the future in front of me? What if things seem hopeless and just beyond my grasp?

We followed the path with prayer and wisdom, believing with all our hearts that we were moving in the right direction, and now the path is utterly and completely gone. Missing. No trail, no trail markers, no way.

We hustled. We busted it. We cried. We gave. We fought. We prayed. We sought wisdom. We didn’t give up. And for what?

I want to hope. I want to dream and live it out. I want to have faith. I want to believe.

I don’t want to be tired anymore.

I’m tired of crying. I’m tired of being exhausted. I’m tired of unfulfilled hopes and dreams. I’m just so, so tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually – so very tired.

I want to give up, and yet I can’t. That’s not what we do.

One more minute. One more hour. One more day. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Don’t look back. Keep moving.

Keep the faith.
