Thank you for this, Ishah! Maybe this is a strange compliment, but I really appreciated the structure of this particular piece. I stumbled upon the post via another Substack’s linking of it, and I am glad I did! Just the other day I was taking a “cool down walk” after a run, and I decided to pause the audiobook I was listening to and pray as I walked. What a blessing. God’s creation proclaims His glory, and He beckons us to walk and commune with Him. What a blessing we have in Christ :)

Thanks for sharing Kyle. Yes, there's something about walking in God's creation that sparks prayer. I find it hard not to talk to God when I'm out walking in the countryside, as you say— creation proclaims His glory!

Ishah, this was lovely--the beautiful, physical world woven with God's word. My favorite Scripture about walking is Galatians 5:16, about walking in the spirit. There are so many references in the Psalms, particularly Psalm 25, about walking the pathway with God.

He is the God of our "walking-around life." Thank you for this reminder and reflection.
