Things don't live in deserts. Why is that? Of course--there's no water. Things need water to survive and thrive, and "where there is no water" there is no surviving and thriving.
Where you are and who you are are deserts. Don't believe me? Look around you. Is there anything around you at school, at home, at church, or at the mall that can fully quench your thirst and satisfy you?
What about within yourself? Is there anything there that can quench your thirst? Can you keep yourself from screwing up? Can you keep yourself from wanting more? Can you keep yourself from pain, hurt, death?
Where you are and who you are are deserts.
Psalm 63:1
You, God, are my God
earnestly I seek you.
I thirst for you;
my whole being longs for you
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
