God's response to Eliiah's extreme depression is exactly what I needed today. Going into Monday feeling completely burned out. I was reading 1 Kings 19. Elijah had iust called down fire from heaven and defeated 450 false prophets. The biggest spiritual high ever. But the very next day, he gets a death threat runs into the desert, sits under a tree, and begs God to take his life. He was utterly physically and mentally exhausted And how does God respond to His greatest prophet wanting to quit? He doesn't vell at him. He doesn't preach a sermon about having more faith. God lets him sleep, sends an angel to bake him some fresh bread. and gives him water. Sometimes the most spiritual thing vou can do when vou are overwhelmed is take a nap and eat a good meal. God knows our frames. He knows we are dust Be gentle with yourself today. #MentalHealth #Eliiah #GodsGrace #Burnout #ChristianEncouragement
