So she did as Elijah said, and she and Elijah and her family continued to eat for many days. 16There was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised through Elijah.

O Lord, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O Lord, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself.”

And when all the people saw it, they fell face down on the ground and cried out, “The Lord—he is God! Yes, the Lord is God!”

Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt18:46 Hebrew He bound up his loins. and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.

 “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.”

And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.

Lord God my Father,

I trust in your plan, now help me to remove any conditions in my trust. You have become obvious in your way, give me strength and focus to represent you well. Open our eyes to see your power and bring us back to your altar to worship only you. Lord God, we are tired but this is our strength, lift us with your strength and help us to be still so we can hear your gentle voice.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
