Elijah
In 1 Kings 19 Elijah had a little breakdown that I can identify with. His prayer literally became "I have had enough Lord...Take my life." Oh, how I can identify. I've been so ashamed of having such a hard time in these first 2 year out of college. I haven't known what to do, I haven't known how to get out of this never-ending funk. I have been blaming others, blaming God, and blaming myself. But if Elijah had a mental break down and he was a mighty man of God I think it is to be expected that we all breakdown at some point. The breakdown is not what defines us. When I think of Elijah I don't think of the weakling who wanted God to just let him die. I think of the mighty man of God who stood up to those who opposed him. I think of the man who did mighty things in God's name. I think of the man who was taken to heaven on chariots of fire.
So I am not weak. I am not a failure. I am human. I am going through a time that I can't get through on my own but with God I will make it to the other side and will continue to do things for His glory.
