Much like physical training, trials and testing build endurance and strengthen faith. I learned this truth as a long-distance runner in high school. Without suffering through daily workouts of varying difficulty, I would not have been prepared for my races. Adding my own personal workouts strengthened an inner resolve. When faith in myself wavered, perseverance pushed me on. When fatigue coaxed me to give up, conviction gave a rally cry. The one-step-forward-two-steps-back increased my ability to go further the next time. Experience through navigating specific trails reduced repeat trials. Focusing on personal principles shortened—or at least eased—the pain of the training period. I had a similar experience during “it.”
