Elijah in his struggles

In the first reading from I Kings 19, we meet the Prophet Elijah having a bad day - he has been serving the Lord faithfully for some time and done all these great works - and instead of thanks and honour he is being persecuted and pursued by the deadly Queen Jezebel. Perhaps we have been on the Christian journey for some time, and perhaps like Elijah we feel we are all alone and just need a break. Perhaps we need to learn something of the lessons that the Lord gave to Elijah - to rest, eat and drink and be strengthened for the journey to the mountain of God. (7'52")
