“Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’ ”
The Lord heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him,
“Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. 37Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
“I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” 5Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.
All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Lord God my Father,
Give me the faith that obeys without the need to understand. Allow your desire to rest on me and remove my fears and selfish desires. Cause my efforts for your kingdom to never dry up. Hear my cry and deliver me to your will. I am your servant, show yourself through me. Bring your power to me and cause your blessing to flow in me in ways I can’t imagine. Give me strength so I may not grow weary and give up. Be my nourishment and quench my thirst. Bring me close so I may know you.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
