“I returned to the trail at the exact spot I left it and said a simple prayer. “God, thank you for bringing me this far on my journey. Please be with me again today and keep me safe. Be with my fellow hikers and keep them safe. Watch over my family…especially Janet. God, you know what I’ll need today more than I do. Please give me whatever it is I need today to get through it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
― Steve Johnson, Sir Fob W. Pot's Journey to Katahdin, Volume 2

“When I got on the trail each morning, I made some specific requests of God, based on my plans and desires for the day. I asked God to remove my foot numbness or to hold off on an anticipated thunderstorm until I’m in my tent that night. But since my second month on the trail, I began daily (on my first AT step of the day) asking God to, “Please give me whatever it is I need to get through today.” You see, God knows what I need better than I do.”
