My Quiet Place

(1/4) > >>

Akira329:
I miss my quiet place, the place I retreated to when I felt sad, angry, lonely or just wanted to be alone.
There was a lake back in my home town where I would just sit and watch the waves for hours even till the sun went down.
I miss that place.
Theres no place like that here.
I walk around and there is no peace
I drive around and there is no peace, wish I could fly
I miss my quiet place.

Hi Antaiwan,

I understand what you are saying.  I have felt that way before, however, I have come to appreciate that the only "true peace" comes from within. 

We will find ourselves, many times, in a place (both physically and spiritually) that lacks a sense of peace.  That is why it is vital that we strive to become as close to Christ as possible (through prayer, meditation, and study) in order to endure until the end.

Love ya, and keep the faith! :)

Hi Antaiwan,

Yes there is something about nature that helps our connection with God.
I suspect it's because we are not seeing as many man-made things around to distract us!
I had a place also from my childhood where I would go, it was a river behind my house.
What is it about water?  Cleansing....Baptism....?

I feel more alive when I'm around living things. Ever notice how as people get older they develop this passion for planting flowers & such?  I has happened with me...Wow..! (Our Pets and Animals also help) 

Our Goal is what Rene' suggested, to find it within.  If you can't find a peaceful place, I've even parked my car somewhere turned on the music, closed my eyes, and experienced my quiet Place.

I will pray for your Peace,
Brenda

Antaiwan--
I too am far away from the places of my youth that brought comfort and peace to me when I would sit and listen to God......it is difficult to make transistions...we don't like change sometimes. I have found new places, like the one in my avatar....its not the same place, but over time, I've found peace there. The peace came with me, I just needed to adapt to the new surroundings to enjoy it.

One thought: He changes not. The same Comforter that came to you by the lake is there with you today, and perhaps sometime you could look up and think about the moon and stars and the sun, which He made....they are the same ones that were there with you by the lake as well.
Peace to you, brother.
Joyce :)

antaiwan,
go fellowship with marques as often as you can. i believe you live very close to each other. marques is not the quiet lake you went to back home, but he has within him (as you do also) the rivers of Living water. you can both be an uplifting wave for each other.

love you,
claudia
