Is it right for Christians to feel that I have had enough of life--to say, I quit? Since they have all the spiritual blessings from Heaven in Jesus, can believers honestly need more? Elijah was a great man of God who said to God, I have had enough.

Is your prayer life where you want it to be? Do you ever feel like the words you’re trying to lift up to God’s ear just fall to the floor the minute they leave your lips? We all feel like that at times.
Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is? It’s easy to wonder -- we don’t always feel like our lives are achieving any greatness. Well, there is a purpose. . . but with all the difficulties and distractions of daily life, it is easy for us to get lost in the details.
We often describe our Christian communities as a body of believers or God’s church family. You might call yourself a believer or a follower of Christ. But do you ever think of yourself as a priest, or as part of a royal priesthood?
Most of us wear our Sunday best for church. We try to look a little nicer than normal, as it’s after all for worship. So too the priests of Israel had fine garments they had to wear when entering into God’s presence. But one Priest didn’t wear them when he made His sacrifice. He didn’t need outward splendor -- he had a splendor all his own.
Have you ever wanted to know exactly what God wanted you to do? Decision-making can be difficult, and when it’s time to make an important life choice, people often wish that God would write his will for them in the sky. What they fail to see is that God has revealed his will for them. He has even given us an instruction manual on how his children should go about learning just what his will is.
