Daily CLC Prayer verse

“Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he asked that he might die, saying, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, “Arise and eat.” And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and lay down again.”‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19:1-6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because the writer of 1 Kings says, “Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba”. Elijah had just been a part of God’s miracle of burning a wet offering in front of the whole town. The whole town acknowledged God and bowed down. However, Elijah was still afraid of Jezebel. Are you letting a fear control your actions right now? You know God personally and have seen His power, but yet still fear? Your in good company, but God still wants us to face our fears with His power. Please pray that we and our friends go to God today with any fear that may be controlling you. Please pray for the CLC Prayer and Fundraising breakfast on November 28th.
