ministering spirits

Out of the last six, this one's tops. Timely? I hope not.

"How to Deal with Depression" {IKing19}
* Weak king (Ahab), Dominant queen (Jez), Discouraged prophet (Elij)
* Elij should have:
- Stayed rather than ran (trust Him for protection)
- Been w/ others (why isolate if not told to do so?)
- Been wary -- most vulnerable after victory
- Rested (phys & emot spent)
- Stop pitying self
* Touched by Angel (no rebuke, but rest)
* Questioned by God (focused on path)
* Commissioned by God
* Apps:
- Take time to rest
- Need new perspective/focus
- Need companion for strength
- Need to surrender -- again, again, as necessary
