1KI 19:4⁴But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. (1 Kings 19:4)

O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

Here is an example of some of the discouraged feelings that Elijah had. I wonder if some of you have felt this way? Life is just not worth living any more. You feel that you are a failure. Yesterday we talked about Elijah being in tune with God’s will. Here’s a case where he wasn’t. He missed God’s purposes altogether. And it made him a miserable person. Look at everything from God’s viewpoint. It will change the way you feel about yourself, and about life.
