Jesus was driven by the Spirit into the desert. There he was tempted and angels ministered to him. Our lives too can seem as if we live in a deserted place plagued by despair. Yet, like Jesus there are angels ministering to us. There is healing and renewal to be found in quiet stillness. Do we live in the web of addiction? Are we trapped because of alcohol, drugs or other substances? Has depression overwhelmed your life? Is it time to deal with the concerns or problem in life? Consider making a change and contact professionals who can help
