    1) Elijah fled in fear after killing the prophets of Baal and receiving death threats from Jezebel. He prayed to die under a broom bush in the wilderness. 2) An angel touched Elijah and provided him food and water, then God spoke to Elijah and asked what he was doing. 3) God commanded Elijah to anoint new leaders - Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha - who would continue God's work, helping Elijah out of his depression through renewed purpose and companionship.

    1 KINGS 19 

    1
    Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had
    done and how he had killed all the prophets with
    the sword. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah
    to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so
    severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make
    your life like that of one of them.”
    1 KINGS 19 

    3 
    Elijah was afraid and ran for his
    life. When he came to Beersheba in
    Judah, he left his servant there,  while he
    4 

    himself went a day’s journey into the


    wilderness. 
    1 KINGS 19 

    He came to a broom bush, sat down


    under it and prayed that he might die. “I
    have had enough, LORD,” he said.
    “Take my life; I am no better than my
    ancestors.”  Then he lay down under the
    5 

    bush and fell asleep.


    4 ELEMENTS OF ELIJAH’S CRISIS

    1.EXPECTATIONS
    2.FOCUS
    3.STRATEGIES
    4.CONSEQUENCES
    HOW DID GOD
    HANDLE ELIJAH’S
    DEPRESSION?
    1 KINGS 19 

    All at once an angel touched him and


    said, “Get up and eat.”  He looked
    6 

    around, and there by his head was some


    bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of
    water. He ate and drank and then lay
    down again.
    1 KINGS 19 

    And the word of the LORD came to him:


    “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
    1 KINGS 19 

    He replied, “I have been very


    10 

    zealous for the LORD God Almighty.


    The Israelites have rejected your
    covenant, torn down your altars, and put
    your prophets to death with the sword. I
    am the only one left, and now they are
    trying to kill me too.”
    1 KINGS 19 

    The LORD said, “Go out and stand on


    the mountain in the presence of
    the LORD, for the LORD is about to
    pass by.”
    1 KINGS 19 

    The LORD said, “Go out and stand on


    the mountain in the presence of
    the LORD, for the LORD is about to
    pass by.”
    1 KINGS 19 

    Then a voice said to him, “What are you


    doing here, Elijah?”
    1 KINGS 19 

    The LORD said to him, “Go back the way


    15 

    you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus.


    When you get there, anoint Hazael king over
    Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king
    over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat
    from Abel Meholah to succeed you as
    prophet. 
    1 KINGS 19 

    17 
    Jehu will put to death any who escape the
    sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death
    any who escape the sword of Jehu.  Yet I
    18 

    reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose


    knees have not bowed down to Baal and
    whose mouths have not kissed him.”
