Are you exhausted, burned out and fearful? (101-3)

Elijah was one of Israel’s greatest prophets. His amazing story is recorded in 1 Kings 17:1-2 Kings 2:11. From the time we’re introduced to him, we see Elijah as an extremely brave leader. His first recorded words reflect confrontation and condemnation when he delivered God’s message to a godless king.
