Day 11: Elijah – Strength for the Weary

Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-8
Key Verse: “The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, ‘Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.’” – 1 Kings 19:7

Elijah had just experienced a great victory over the prophets of Baal, but now he was running for his life. Exhausted and discouraged, he collapsed under a tree and prayed to die. But instead of rebuking him, God met him in his weakness.

God provided food, rest, and gentle encouragement, reminding Elijah he wasn’t alone. His strength was renewed, and he continued in his calling.

Sometimes, we need to rest and let God strengthen us most. He doesn’t expect us to run on empty. When we bring our exhaustion to Him, He replenishes us for the journey ahead.

Prayer Focus: Ask God to restore your strength when you feel weary and to remind you that you are never alone.
