WILDERNESS… there are so many ways this can be taken. The wilderness can be the peaceful retreat where we encounter God or the barren lands where we struggle to hear his voice. There is no “perfect pitch submission,” and ideas range from a poem describing a perfect hike to a retelling of a period of “wilderness” in your life and how God met you there. (Nonexhaustive) list of inspo questions below:

• What thoughts, feelings or emotions does the wilderness inspire in you?

• How do stories in the Bible encounter the wilderness? How have Christians historically encountered the wilderness? 

• What does the wilderness teach you?

• What is your wilderness (literal or metaphorical) and how do you encounter God there?

• How does faith prepare you for the wilderness?

• How do you define wilderness?

The greatest part of this is that if you’re lacking inspiration, you can pop outside and be inspired anew! Take a hike (in a friendly way) and touch grass (also in a friendly way)! We look forward to seeing how the wilderness inspires you!
