This Sunday, we turned to 1 Kings 19 and walked with Elijah into the depths of fear, exhaustion, and depression after his great victory on Mount Carmel. We reflected on how even God’s strongest servants can feel utterly alone and how, like Elijah, we often withdraw when we’re hurting. We heard how God met Elijah not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in the sound of sheer silence, reminding us to rest, care for our bodies, and make space to listen for God’s quiet voice. Together, we affirmed that seeking help, serving others, and leaning into God’s steadfast love are faithful ways to move through our own seasons of despair, trusting that God will take care of us.
