Trials turn us inward and they tell us to care more about survival and to focus on ourselves. Trials disconnect us and tempt us to forget where we've come from. Trials turn us toward despair and ultimately towards amnesia. We forget who we are, who sustains us, who empowers us and who sent us.

Wilderness is a powerful place of full of temptation and yet we find lessons that can change our lives and draw us closer to God.
