The moment you decide to give up on life is often the right when your miracle is about to happen.
People sometimes pray for death or want to give up due to life’s constraints or the heavy demands of serving the Lord.
The biblical prophet Elijah reached a point where he was completely fed up with life and prayed to die.
Elijah’s desire to die was driven by fear and exhaustion over what Jezebel wanted to do to him 1 Kings 19:4[4]But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a lone broom or juniper tree and asked that he might die. He said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am no better than my fathers.1 Kings 19:5-6 5]As he lay asleep under the broom or juniper tree, behold, an angel touched him and said to him, Arise and eat.6]He looked, and behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a bottle of water at his head. And he ate and drank and lay down again.
When Elijah prayed for death, he was entirely unaware of the miraculous plans the Lord had in store for him.
He didn’t realize that he would eventually be taken to heaven alive, completely avoiding the predicament of physical death as thus we should not give up on what God has strategized towards our attention in as due to all that which He has called us to do
