Read 1 Kings 19:4 in the NABRE onlineAnd he went into the wilderness, a day's journey, and came to a certain tree, and sat under it: and he desired for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my life: for I am no better than my fathers.
Reflection
Elijah had just won a spectacular public victory, and now he wants to die. Scripture is honest that burnout can follow success as easily as failure. What God sends him next is sleep, food, and a gentle question — not a lecture.
