Standing Alone in the Desert

There are moments when you find
yourself standing in a desert.
Loneliness presses in so deeply
that even your steps falter.
Sometimes you walk backward,
just to see the footprints
you left behind.

There are times when life feels
like standing in that desert.
Surrounded by emptiness,
with nothing but silence,
you face the weight of solitude.
It becomes a quiet battle
within yourself,
a sacred time of prayer
and reflection.

A moment of deep prayer
