This is Enough, Lord, Take my Life: Homily for the 18th Sunday

What led the Holy Prophet Elijah to wish for death? How did God respond to his request? You may have reached the end of your strength in life and like the prophet your enemies may be pursuing you. There is help in God always. When we bring our stories, fears, hurts, and frustrations to God, we receive divine help and food for the journey. There is help always for those who do not turn in on themselves, but rather turn to God in all things.
