“The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.” Mark 6:30-34
 
The trials that face us in life can make it feel like we are separated from the rest of the world, alone and deserted. But if we listen closely, within those trials, we can hear the voice of Our Lord calling us to come to Him and rest for a while. 
 
Christ is in that desert, waiting for us to come to Him. In the quiet of our individual deserts of despair, away from the rest of the world, we will find Jesus's loving embrace. 
 
God does not place tribulations in your life, but He does place blessings hidden within them to draw you closer to Him.
