Did They Say That? Places to Play and Pray

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”

John Muir

Mr. Muir was born on this day in 1838. The writer and advocate of nature influenced the modern environmental movement with his writings. And because it’s Earth Day tomorrow, we take a look at a quote from this man today.

Each of us needs a place to play and pray. We need to balance fun and work. Yes, we need a place to play and a place to pray. Many of us have numerous places to play. But we often neglect the prayer closet. It doesn’t have to be a closet literally. It can be your bedroom, your car, or even in your shower!

For me, my prayer closet is in my car. I love praying and worshipping God while I drive. It is often the only time I can get alone with God. I would encourage you to find places to play and pray. It’ll change your life!
