Sometimes walking with God feels more like running a half-marathon in the Olympics. We encounter many obstacles and troubles in our lives here on Planet Earth, and it can be a fight to make it to the end. In our own strength, we will always fail.   

However, we follow a God who will never fail, and we read in His Word that victory belongs to Him. Step into these Bible verses for the strength and encouragement to overcome.
