Sermon on 6/29/25 by Pastor Don Cable  Are you feeling down, frustrated, or stuck in a "funk"? This message dives into the biblical account of Elijah's despair in 1 Kings 19:1-18, showing us how even great spiritual victories can be followed by profound lows. Discover the practical, compassionate steps God takes to restore His prophet and how we can apply them to our own lives when facing overwhelm.

We'll explore the factors that led to Elijah's despair:

• Physical Exhaustion
• Emotional Depletion
• Spiritual Distraction
• Relational Isolation

Learn God's "prescription" for beating the blues:

• Rest your body.
• Roll your cares onto the Lord.
• Refocus your attention on God's Word.
• Resume serving others.

This sermon offers powerful, timeless wisdom for anyone battling discouragement, reminding us that God is alive, He loves us, and He has a purpose for us even in our lowest moments.
