The wilderness is an isolated place of intense experiences. God places us in this environment to help bring us closer to Him, and to become a stronger person. In this setting we face difficulties and afflictions, and we are forced to acknowledge our ultimate source of comfort is prayer…consistent, fervent, and specific.
Prayers in the Wilderness by Avis Marcus is an amazing tool and guide. The prayers and meditations in this book demonstrate how to navigate through the loneliness and discomfort of a personal wilderness. They are relatable to anyone. They “speak” to the soul, and acknowledge the pain that is an integral part of this situation.
Several times I was in the wilderness and this book was an amazing jewel. When I read the meditations and prayers, I am reassured of God’s presence in my trials. Although I may feel lonely, I recognize He never leaves me alone.
I can truthfully say, my faith is elevated and I know God is always on my side. So I thank God for the blessing He provided for me through Prayers in the Wilderness. And I also thank Him for the writing assignment He gave to Avis Marcus.
