He Hideth My Soul

Many times on the bike trail I sang a lot of songs and each song ministered to me.

One song that came to mind "He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock and shelters me there with his hands. That shadow a dry thirsty land. He hideth my life in the depths of his love and shelters me there with his hand.

During my time on the trail I thought a lot about these words. I thought about keeping my mind protected by dark thoughts that came after the death of my friends.

I thought about the verse that said Thou will keep in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusts in him.

As I rode I asked God to help me with the overwhelming grief I was feeling. These words comforted me. I sang this song on the trail at the top of my lungs. I sang this song and my body and mind relaxed. I knew that as I rode my bike the stress that was built up in my body subside.

I find that in the winter time I find that journal entries help me to relax and unwind.
