b'When I am really stressed out or confused by something happening in my life, I like to be by the water. I will often go somewhere by myself with my Bible and sit on the shore. I like to hear the splish-splash of the waves\\u2014the sound relaxes me. I also enjoy watching driftwood ride on the waves toward the shore.\\nBy the water is a good place for me to pray and sort out my problems. It helps me to redirect my focus onto Jesus. I feel closer to Him when I admire His creation. It also reminds me that He is in control.\\nOthers enjoy talking with God in the middle of the woods. The woods are filled with the sounds of nature\\u2014whether it be the sound of rustling trees in the wind, birds singing, or other animals scurrying about.\\nI always count it a blessing when I get to see an animal I rarely see in nature. One time, I was blessed to cross paths with a fox, another time a bald eagle.
