How to Be Courageous in Your FaithEsimerkki

## Pray Almighty God, I sometimes get distracted by the challenges in my life. Help me now to focus only on You. Amen. ## Read Listen to the audio or tap forward to read today's passage (1 Kings 18:17-40) then tap back reflect and pray below. ## Reflect Elijah conducts a spiritual frontal assault on Mount Carmel and asks the people to choose whom they will follow. What kind of challenge does Elijah give the prophets of the false god? How does Elijah show the people his confidence in the power of the living God? How does the Lord confirm that he is the one, true God in Israel? How am I living my life so others see that God is my Commander? ## Respond Lord, you command the wind, rain, and fire; nothing is outside your control. Let me not be discouraged by what I see around me, but keep my eyes fixed on you at all times. Amen.
