I wake up early, force myself out of bed, pull on running shoes and hit the road. I live in the middle of Manhattan in New York City, so my running options are limited. Sometimes I run a six-mile loop road in Central Park. Other times I try to be more creative, weaving through the park\u2019s many crisscrossing paths. If it\u2019s light enough, I run on the park\u2019s dirt bridle trail, where every now and then I\u2019ll see someone riding a horse.<\/p>\n<p>I have prayed countless times in countless places over the years, but my <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/faith-prayer-devotions\/stories-of-faith-faith-prayer-devotions\/prayer-on-the-run\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">morning runs are where I encounter God<\/a> most reliably. There\u2019s always a moment when it happens. Maybe it\u2019s when the sun crests the horizon and suddenly Manhattan\u2019s east side blazes orange and the apartment buildings encircling the park light up like lanterns. Maybe it\u2019s when a gentle rain falls and the skyscrapers of midtown are wrapped in clouds. I\u2019ve run through snow, sleet, hail and pounding thunderstorms. Once, the temperature dropped below zero and I was stopped by a local news crew who came to Central Park to interview people crazy enough to go jogging on the coldest day of the year.<\/p>\n<p>There is something about being outside in the early morning in all kinds of weather that feels uniquely exposed to the mysterious forces of God. I feel <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/movies-and-tv\/guideposts-classics-gene-lockhart-on-gods-presence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">God\u2019s presence<\/a> in the beauty. In the quiet. In the friendly nods of other runners on the road. Even in the air itself. I hate summer humidity but I know it\u2019s part of creation, so I (try to) give thanks for it anyway on muggy mornings. Before the sun comes up, runners and dog walkers pretty much have the park to themselves. There are no tourists. No kids from nearby schools using the fields for recess. No musicians or bike cabs or horse-drawn carriages. The city feels subdued, as if, for this brief time, God has turned his attention to this hustling metropolis and said, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/be-still-and-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cBe still.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Many days when I first wake up, the last thing I want to do is haul myself out of bed and exercise. It\u2019s always worth it. Even the repetitiveness of my running routes becomes a source of prayer. Tiny variations loom large. I spot the first crocuses and bluebells that announce <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/watching-the-hope-of-spring-emerge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the coming of spring<\/a>. See the first cherry trees blossom. Hear the first cries of migrating geese. Get excited over the first sign of fall (my favorite season). Run through the year\u2019s first snowfall.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t listen to music when I run. I like to hear the world wake up. I imagine God gently stirring everything back to life. There is nothing to do but look around and take it all in. My mind wanders but it always comes back to this central fact: <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/god-is-fully-present-in-times-of-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">God is present and at work<\/a> in the everyday moments around me. Soon, I\u2019ll be back home, swept into the work day, my mind stressed and distracted. Here, for a precious hour, I am fully alive and fully aware. In motion under the watchful care of God.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most mornings, I start the day in motion.
