Here are some photographs from a favorite blog I follow: Notes From Near and Far, by Julian Hoffman.  I have put these photos in this prayer blog because they capture so well many things having to do with prayer—at least for me. 

I pray best when I am walking along trails such as these—where there is no one to be found, only God; where nature is all around to remind me of His power and majesty and beauty. 

These photos also remind me of the verse, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” (Ps. 119:105). 

And of course I am reminded of my journey through life: that I am never in one spot; I am continuing on, ever winding, always pushing forward to places unknown to me.  But I know the journey will be an adventure and will be delightful—because He is always with me and leads me in the paths of righteousness (Ps. 23:3).
