Got Prayer in your wilderness?

But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. (Luke 5:16 NLT)

Do you ever find yourself wandering in a wilderness of doubt or discouragement? Do you tell yourself that you shouldn't be having such thoughts as a person of faith, but yet they still remain? Do you feel like God is often silent and not interested in really getting you out of your wilderness? Let me suggest...maybe our perspective is off.

Have you tried turning your wilderness into a wilderness of prayer like Jesus himself did?

Much of life will feel like a wilderness or a place of testing. Turning the mundane into a mountain can only happen through prayer and willingly choosing to withdraw on a daily basis in our wilderness to PRAYER. Jesus was always being tested and tried during His life. If prayer is what we turn to then I believe we will overcome no matter how great the obstacle. If we turn to any other number of things then we will be left wandering in our own illusions. Prayer is the answer. I desire to chose to withdraw to connect with God. If I am honest I still have so much to learn about this. There is so much grace though in the process. Do not be overcome with discouragement but let faith rise up in you today.
