Quotes about walks in the woods and in nature
I love getting time alone to walk and talk to God. In fact, every year I take a trip to North Carolina to hike the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s always an amazing time to be silent before the Lord and allow Him to speak to me in prayer and even through nature. I encourage you to get alone with the Lord. Go to the woods and walk and pray with Him. Allow Him to shower you with His peace. Take your Bible and sit for a moment and allow Him to speak to you through His Word. It’s such a blessing to be able to take walks in nature. Let’s take advantage of it more.

Quotes about walking alone

Choose Christ over sin.

Walking with God quotes
The first step to walking with God is acknowledging your need for a Savior. We can do nothing apart from Christ. Humanity is sinful and our sin separates us from a holy God. Jesus, who is God in flesh, lived the perfect life that we couldn’t and died the death that we deserve. However, it doesn’t end there. He was raised from the grave defeating sin and death.
The perfect work of Christ allows us to have a relationship with God. It allows us to know Him and enjoy Him. I encourage you to repent. Turn away from sin and things that leave you broken in the end and trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. Why not receive God’s love for you? Believe that Christ has taken away all your sins. Trust in His perfect work on your behalf and start living for Christ and walking with Him daily. Click here – Learn more on becoming a Christian today!
