My Favorite Place

 

My Favorite Place

Everyone has a place to go where they can find peace and solitude. Mine is nowhere in particular but it is forever with me . It is not a nook, nor a cranny. My hide-away is in open places. It is among the stars at night. It is driving alone in the solace of my car, seeing the beauty of God’s handiwork. The pretty colors of springtime. The whiteness of Winter, the many animals that are out and about in the Summer. There is so much to see that God has blessed us with. I think of Numbers 6:24-26, “The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you and  give you peace.” It puts me in a prayerful mood and that is my favorite place. It is in prayer, snuggled in God’s powerful arms, praising His awesomeness and the beautiful things He has blessed and provided for us.

Prayer removes me from all the cares of the world and gives me peace that can’t be found in chocolate or ice cream or in a good book. Nor in any  other material things of this world. It is where God dwells, where I am allowed to talk to Him and to listen for His answers. It provides peace that passes all understanding. It is knowing He hears all my prayers and answers all my prayers. Opening my heart in prayer is my favorite place for my soul. I hope and pray that you also find peace in prayer and can open up your heart and soul to the one who knows you best. Blessed be the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
