Down to the River to Pray

I love this song by Alison Krauss.  I go down to the river to pray, but not in it.  I walk and pray.  Why?  I've been blessed to have been baptized already, just like it was shown in the video.  Please page down to the bottom of the page and turn off the Christmas music before playing this video. 

This song plays through my mind as I'm walking and praying.  I use this precious time to talk with my Lord about things that are especially difficult at the time.  I listen and just take in the sights, sounds and smells.  The scent of the river and the woods is as close to heavenly as I have ever experienced, so it blesses my soul to have this wonderful place to walk and bear my deepest soul's longings to my heavenly father.  Can I do it elsewhere?  Of course!  But I feel so very much closer to my heavenly home when I'm walking along the river talking with God.  It makes the concerns of my life here on earth so much easier to bear.  So if you see me walking and talking to myself, just smile and wave.   I'm just talking to my Lord.
