The sadness that Elijah felt, that utter despair, people have examined this and seen that perhaps he was even feeling a clinical depression as a result of all of this because he was willing and ready to die.
God promises that when you stretch out your arms towards him he will hear you. God loves you. He has forgiven you and he wants to use his almighty power for your good.
If you've ever struggled with depression, know this: God loves you. God has a plan for you. God loved you so much he traded his only Son for your redemption.
