1 Kings 19:1-8
Sometimes God has to put us into a wilderness to regain strength
Elijah’s sin was that he allowed fear to enter his heart and mind. He allowed fear to take place in his life and decision making. Fear became his God and instead of trusting God he doubted . So he allowed fear to bring doubt and once doubt creeped in it caused him to become tired and sleepy because he no longer had a connection with God.
Read Isaiah 41:10
Do not be dismayed- discouraged, dishearted, depressed, oppressed, or despaired
being dismayed causes us to break down the courage within
Psalms 3:5 / Proverbs 6:9
Verse 4 – Elijah pleaded with God and requested to die
He pleaded no more God ENOUGH I’m not strong enough
Verse 5 – says he layed and slept over a juniper tree
He layed and slept- His consciousness was practically suspended leaving him paralyzed
When you sleep body has no movement
To lie down means to give up to surrender
Elijah forgot to trust God because he became to busy feeling sorry for himself
So if your in a place where you need to make a decision trust God that he will be faithful and guide you.
