God's prescription against depression

The old Testament prophet Elijah announce a drought,

he was fed by ravens and later by a widow,

he raised her son from the dead, he challenged 850 prophets

on mount Carmel, he call down fire from heaven...BUT

 

Elijah was human just like us.

"I have had enough, Lord. Take my life."

 

As humans we can Identify with him...life is sometimes overwhelming

The days are busy - we try to cope with everything

And then there are days when we think: I have had enough, Lord!

We battle with tears and feelings of depression.

 

But God has an excellent prescription for this state of mind.

1)Get enough sleep 1Kings 19:5

2)Eat healthy on an ongoing basis. 1 Kings 19:6

3)Spend time in God's presence 1 Kings 19:9-13

4) Act on the vision in your heart 1 Kings 19:15

 

I pray that God will strengthen you in your inner man.

 

 

1Kings 17, 18, 19
