Running With Purpose

While tidying up my desk, I came across an old study planner from my final year of high school. Inside, I found a verse that had helped me endure one of the most trying seasons of my life:


Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 1 Co 9:26

Back then, I would always end my day in prayer after evening self-study sessions at school. But as time went on, I began to worry: was I failing at both my studies and my life of faith? One evening, weighed down by discouragement, I opened my Bible, and this verse caught my eye. In that moment, I realized I had been pursuing not only my studies but also my prayers without clear direction.


From that day on, I set a new goal: to walk with God. Once that purpose took root, prayer came naturally, and both my mindset and actions began to change. God, in His grace, fulfilled my dream of becoming a campus prophet.

These days, I have a new goal: to obey the words of Heavenly Mother 100 percent. Even when faced with unexpected challenges or obstacles, I remain confident, because with a clear goal, I will never lose direction or give up.
