📖 Scripture: 1 Kings 19:4–8 (NLT) 4 Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.” 5 Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” 6 He looked around and there beside his head was some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So he ate and drank and lay down again. 7 Then the angel of the Lord came again and touched him and said, “Get up and eat some more, or the journey ahead will be too much for you.” 8 So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God.

🎯 Focus Statement: After long seasons of stress and survival, even good news can reveal how tired we really are. God does not shame weary people. God feeds us, rests us, and strengthens us for what comes next.

👉 Call to Action: Give yourself permission this week to rest without guilt. Let God care for you too.
