got this from an article venetia posted up :)
"The Lord will put us in a place where it’s just Him and us—because it’s preparation for what He wants to do with our lives.

He knows what lies ahead, and he knows that we’re going to need the kind of resolve that comes from being alone with Him. So He takes us through a season of separation for the sake of preparation. And once our hearts are prepared, our lives will be powerfully used."
