Right after Jesus was baptised in the Holy Spirit by St. John the Baptist, He was led into the wilderness where he was tempted by the devil and fasted for 40 days.
We must be ready to be tested and tempted in a "desert period" when we become new christians. Even Moses and the Isrealites had to spend 40 years in the desert wilderness after they were freed from slavery. This is God's way of testing and proving your faith for if we do not worship Him in the wilderness He knows that we will not worship Him in our time of abundance and reward.
The good news is that everyone whose faith endures until the end shall receive their just reward from God
