Elijah Was Afraid Too
"And he prayed that he might die, and said, "It is enough! Now, Lord.""1 Kings 19:4
Reflection
After an enormous victory, Elijah fell into despair. God did not scold him: He told him to eat and sleep first. Care before sermons.
Prayer
Lord, care for me when I am worn out. Amen!
Talk about it as a family

- What helps you when you feel very low?
