straight into your day and leave you anxious. Well, Elijah and the single mom fell into troubling times

God turned their lack into plenty he transformed their anxiety into peace faith in God can turn your worries into peace too

your father in heaven now leave behind today's tasks and worries and

just so can God's presence and get comfortable close your eyes and begin to relax

fall asleep before I finish all the better may God be present in your dreams tonight

too so listen as I begin your time your voyage into sleep you're

drifting into the arms of Christ as we pray dear God fill my heart in mind fresh with

your presence in peace as I sleep may your Holy Spirit guide my dreams give me

faith just like you gave faith to Elijah and the single mother you were faithful to

them and I believe you'll be faithful to me as well and now renew me as I rest in you

fill me with trust oh Lord and increase my faith just like you did with this single

mother make me strong for tomorrow in Jesus name amen now imagine a campsite long ago on the distant edge of

Israel far far away from busy cities it's far from the palace and from the foul king king aah

Elijah the prophet is hiding by a small brook all alone he is just told the king that as

surely as the Lord the God of Israel lives the God I serve there will be no

do or rain during the next few years until I give the word so Elijah is not too

popular right now he is away from his home and his friends, after hiding for days and months.
