“[Jesus] was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.” Mark 1:13
We all face the wilderness of our own lives – those places where we don’t know where to turn and nothing seems to make sense and we are left to despair without knowing how we can go on from here. In those moments, we can be reminded that Jesus was in that wilderness too, not just once all those many years ago, but Jesus remains in every wilderness of our own lives and we are never left to face the challenges of our life alone. Jesus is God with us in every time and place.
Let us pray. God who is with us at all times, in those wilderness moments of our lives where we are so lost we can’t even find the words to pray to you, remind and guide us that you have not abandoned us and that we are ever with you even when we cannot see it.
