Kind of like Rocky in Rocky III when he was running on the beach against Apollo and he lost his confidence and quit and just stood there on the beach looking out at the ocean.
Sometimes it feels that way. Sometimes when I am swimming my laps, about half way through I feel like quitting when I think about my wife being gone and I don't know what the future holds.
But I don't. I keep pushing through until I finish my laps and I keep pushing through with my life and hope for a marriage restoration. The #1 thing you have to gain back is your confidence in yourself regardless of your circumstances just like Rocky did. Granted he had his wife there for support. But there was only so much she could do. He had to find it within himself to get back to the old Rocky and he did. Not only did he, but he eventually got stronger and beat Apollo on the beach run and came back to win the title again.
Let us not forget that we all have that in each of us. We are in a race that we can win. We just have to find that confidence in ourselves and push forward no matter how daunting the task might seem, no matter how much fear of the unknown we might have, and eventually, we will succeed.
Remember, God is with you. With Him for you, who can succeed against you? Nobody but you can succeed against you.
