What do you do when you're angry, stressed or down in the dumps? I usually go for a walk. I immensely enjoy to occasionally take a stroll no matter what my mood may be. I find it relaxing and a good time to breathe and think. I love meandering down an old dirt road, hiking through the woods, or walking along the ocean's shore. I not only appreciate the exercise but it's also rejuvenating. Perhaps sometimes even romantic. Hiking, exercising or having a long conversation with a friend: I love all the aspects of taking a walk.
Going for a walk is also a lovely time to commune with God. There's been many times I've taken a walk to this certain spot on our property to dispel my heavy heart to the Lord. I'm so glad that God doesn't get tired of hearing from me. He's the only one I can count on to truly listen to my burdens and truly care about them. Not only does He listen but He's the only one that can actually fix them as well. It always makes me feel better.
I encourage you to take a break sometime from the busyness of life and go for a stroll. Talk to the Lord, take a breath of fresh air, and enjoy God's creation around you. You'd be surprised how much better you'll feel afterward.
