Here we have a prophet, God's own chosen representative, a man full of zeal for God's honor and glory---a saint , and yet he was as human as the rest of us.

4 He grew tired of fighting a losing battle, he fled from the front, he set out to get protection and consolation from God, but tiring of the long journey he became so depressed and so despondent that he wanted God to take him from this vale of tears. Instead, God renewed his energies and sent him back to fight on for the Lord. There are few of us who do not have our moments of spiritual desolation and depression. Our crosses seem at times to become unbearable; we feel like lying down under them and asking God to take us. But like Elijah, God will lift us up too if only we rely on him. The next time we feel crushed, let us not ask the good God to take our cross away from us.

5 Rather, let us ask him to give us that new strength which he gave to Elijah---the strength to persevere, bearing our cross not only for forty days but for forty more years, if this should be God's means of assuring our eternal salvation. -Peace, Fr.
