The Message
You were running superbly! Who cut in on you, deflecting you from the true course of obedience? This detour doesn't come from the One who called you into the race in the first place. And please don't toss this off as insignificant. It only takes a minute amount of yeast, you know, to permeate an entire loaf of bread.
I once read something that said, if your faith is unraveling go back to where you dropped the thread of obedience. And it is true. One small thing, like neglecting Bible study or putting off prayer, can start a chain of events that will leave you so thirsty for the Lord. (No one needs to tell you where and what happened. You know.) And you don't even have to be dehydrated! The Water is sitting in a bottle, with a straw, in your hand, and you are just looking and panting after it instead of taking action and sipping.
And just because you feel like you are running the race and got lost does not neccessarily mean that you are lost. You could just be running through some fog. The only thing is, you have to trust that the Lord is guiding you. If you don't have that trust, it doesn't matter if the path is totally clear, you will get lost.
