Series Synopsis
Everyone has had times when we wish the Lord would begin to work in a particular way in our lives and the Lord’s answer is to wait. Have you ever grown frustrated on waiting on the Lord and feeling as if He has left you alone? Strength in the Desert will encourage you in times of waiting on the Lord. As we examine saints in the Bible who experienced difficult times of waiting, we will receive new confidence and receive instruction on maintaining spiritual stamina in our times of waiting on the Lord.
