Jesus, I would rather live in the
vastness of the desert with You than
enter into the most excruciatingly
beautiful oasis without You.

This is somehow both a fact and a prayer.
I have times where I can say this as undeniable truth – that I would go anywhere my Lord calls me, no matter how uncomfortable or lonely. And then sometimes I say this to Jesus hoping that if I repeat it enough that maybe just once I’ll mean it.

So, I invite you, no matter where you’re at, to pray this with me this Lent, because the desert, though broad and desolate, is where our Lord waits to meet us, heal us, and draw us ever closer.
