“I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams . . .” (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince)
"God takes everyone he loves through a desert. It is his cure for our wandering hearts, restlessly searching for a new Eden . . . Desert life sanctifies you. You have no idea you are changing. You simply notice after you've been in the desert awhile that you are different . . ." (Paul Miller, The Praying Life)
"I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs." (Isaiah 41:18)
