At some point in our lives we will find ourselves running from or running towards something. It all depends on the day or hour for me. The following posts may be helpful to you as you Reflect on this area.
I just read your post about running from pain. I was so blessed by your words. Yes, sometimes we run from the ramifications and consequences of bad decisions - but I more often find myself running from the things that I fear. Like ugly monsters that jump out of closets to terrorize me, my anxiety is a terrible taskmaster. And all too often I find that I am running away from the fear, instead of running toward God. Usually when I have exhausted myself, I finally fall at His feet and beg for peace. His answer, patient as ever, is this: "Come to Me, maybe faster next time, and I will give you rest!"
