1 | Does Elijah's confession reflect shame? | 1 Kin 19:4 | meElaine | 38587 | ||
I have been depressed off and on for the last few months and lately been thinking of killing myself, even though I won't do it. I know it would displease the Lord and that I need to stay here to for my children and husband. But I really don't want to go on living sometimes. To find Elijah feeling the same way is something of a comfort to me. Reading this chapter encouraged me. What I was wondering about this specific verse is, does Elijah say he is no better than his fathers because he recogizes that his depression does not please the Lord, that it shows his lack of faith? Is he filled with shame and self loathing? I think he might be, since it is just like our enemy, the accuser of the brethren, to tepmt us and then accuse us and tell us how unworthy of God's love we are when we fall. Tell me what you think. |
