This sermon has probably been the most relevant of all the ones I've heard this summer. I'm most definitely feeling like I'm in a desert with God... and Satan. Hearing this message is like hearing my lived reality put in perspective and made sense of. I wonder how long this will last and what way I will get out. The advice here in dealing with the temptation for boredom is to "do something" and to trust and have faith in God. I suppose this is my answer and I will need to see how it plays out in my situation.
