    This message looks at a situation in the life of Elijah in which he felt all alone. This account teaches us that God is with us, and He has our best interests in mind at all times, even though we may not immediately hear from Him.

How many of you have ever been through a difficult time in which you felt like God had abandoned you, or perhaps that He was nowhere to be found?
