An angel touched [Elijah], and said to him, “Arise and eat.” —1 Kings 19:5 Our people of today frequently face situations bigger than they can handle. Sometimes it’s temporary despair brought on by exhaustion, as in Elijah’s case. He had been part of a great victory over the prophets of Baal (18:20-40), but then he feared for his life and ran into the wilderness (19:1-3). But often, it’s more than despair and it’s more than temporary. That’s why it is imperative that we talk about depression openly and compassionately. God offers His presence to us in life’s darkest moments, which enables us, in turn, to be His presence to the hurting. Crying out for help—from others and from God—may be the strongest moment of our lives. Father, grant us the candor to admit to each other that sometimes life overwhelms us. And grant us the courage to help others find help—and to seek it when we need it. Hope comes with help from God and others. Gud morning peeps…Have a marvelous weekend..!!!
