On the show The Amazing Race, people race around the world in teams, collecting clues to help them get from one place to the next. They don’t have a lot of supplies, and they face challenges along the way. Their goal is to get through every challenge and solve every problem as quickly as possible, so they can be the first team to get to the end of the race.
The Bible compares life to a race, and the prize is eternal life with Jesus. Just like the people on the show, we will face challenges in our lives that will take courage. We should not give up but keep trusting in Jesus to help us finish the race and get the prize!
Your Trailbook (the Bible) tells us about some people who trusted God to help them, and some people who didn't always trust God.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
Joshua 1:9
"This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
