šI never fully understood Elijah in 1 Kings 19 until I became the kind of tired that sleep couldnāt fix. Elijah had just witnessed God move in a powerful way, yet shortly after, he was overwhelmed, afraid, and sitting under a tree telling God he had enough. And what gets me is⦠God didnāt shame him for being tired. He let him rest. He fed him. He gave him water. Then He told him,
šāArise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.ā ā 1 Kings 19:7 Whew.
Sometimes youāre not weak. Sometimes the journey has simply been heavy. And I love that God cared for Elijahās body before He gave him his next assignment. That alone reminds me that God understands when weāre worn down. He knows when our minds are overwhelmed, when our hearts are tired, and when weāve been carrying more than weāve said out loud. So sis, if all you can do right now is rest, pray, eat, breathe, and take the next small step⦠do that. God is not disappointed in you for being tired. The same God who met Elijah under that tree knows exactly where to find you too.
