In today's episode, we encounter Elijah wrestling with despair despite witnessing God's power at Mount Carmel. The victory that should have propelled him to greater heights instead precedes a fall into fear and discouragement. Such profound experiences aren't exclusive to ancient prophets—many of us might relate to Elijah's heartache in response to unforeseen challenges. His story reminds us that even the most devoted servants can find themselves in the grip of desolation.

But here's the good news: Other believers have walked this path. If you're trudging through similar darkness or battling discouragement, you're not alone. The life of Elijah offers both solace and lessons, illustrating that God never abandons His people, even when they're honourably wounded.
