“It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” And [Elijah] lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, “Arise and eat.”
1 Kings 19:4–5

All of us have surely found ourselves in a spiritual valley when we expected to be on a mountaintop.
