Here’s a new way to look at trials:

• “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing.” 

What if the wilderness and the solitary places are trials and I am glad for them because they help me become an improved person?

What if I am the desert and because of trials my character “blossoms abundantly” and as an improved person I rejoice with joy and singing?

Maybe trials are blessings because all other things (distractions) fall away and I focus on getting through it?
