  1. Why was Elijah so afraid in verse 3? Shouldn’t the events of chapter 18 have banished fear?
  2. Why was Elijah so despairing in verse 4? When have you said like Elijah, “I have had enough, Lord.”?
  3. When Elijah just wants to die, what does the angel of the Lord do in verses 6-8?
  4. How does the Lord come to Elijah in verses 9-13? What does the Lord say in verses 9 & 13? Can you relate?
  5. Discuss the conversation between Elijah and the Lord in vs 14-18. What does Elijah want? What does the Lord want? Does Elijah have a clear view of national events?
  6. Elijah wants to die (v. 4) but how do his days on this earth end (2 Kings 2:11)?
  7. How does 1 Kings 19 help us navigate our lives today?
