DESOLATION (n.)
- The state of being abandoned or forsaken; loneliness.
- Wretchedness; misery.
But I use this fear to have a stronger faith. Holding onto a promise: Deuteronomy 31:8 ”Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
“It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that when we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation - of loneliness, of poverty and misery, the end of all things, or their extreme - then rises in our mind the thought of God.” - Vincent van Gogh”
