Last week I said to you that every once and awhile life can beat you up so bad you want to give up. Life sometimes can be like being put into a vice that just keeps being squeezed and squeezed until there’s nothing left. Being overloaded, physical exhaustion, and separation from a loved one can cause depression. The Lord knew Elijah was wiped out he doesn’t criticize Elijah for sleeping.  No instead, God recharges the prophet and allows him to sleep and to rest, but then God has him return to the things he was running from with renewed strength.
