At this point in Elijah’s story, we find him in some of the darkest depths of discouragement and depression. And it might not make sense, because he’s come off of one of the biggest and most dramatic wins in the bible. This part of Elijah’s narrative can provide insight into how you can respond when you’re also feeling the depths of despair. When life is too much, and circumstances seem too great to bear, this passage presents a truth that you might not be ready to hear, but shouldn’t write off just yet—when you’ve had enough, God’s enough.
