Elijah prayed an enormous prayer in 1 Kings 17, he asked the Lord to hold back the dew and the rain, until King Ahab was willing to recognized that God of Israel, was the true and living God- Elijah waited for three and a half years for the rain to the return. Elijah didn't just sit and wait for the Lord to answer his prayer, he continued to serve the Lord faithfully, while he waited. We, like Elijah, can make some wonderful discoveries as we wait for the Lord to answer our prayers-
