It’s easy to get the idea that “good” Christians experience nothing but victory after victory with nary a temptation or struggle until they cross the finish line in a blaze of glory. But I wonder if the race looks less like a sprint and more like a marathon where the runners are exhausted with just enough strength to drag themselves across the finish line or are carried over by their comrades. It’s in these moments of weakness that we realize how much we need the family of the faith to be arms of support when it’s hard to take the next step. Whether we are the givers or receivers of this help, we aren’t meant to go it alone,
