I have had enough. ( Luke 18 v 1 )

I have had enough, I  wonder do you ever feel like that ?,I am sure many do,difficulties with children,and not just the young ones,difficulties in employment,could it be your are a minister?. Do you know who uttered those words, a great prophet, called Elijah.( 1 Kings 19 v 4),not a prophet, surely not, yes a prophet.let me say this, your position as a minister,Christian,pillar of society,does not mean you will not feel  like given up. Stop feeling guilty you are only human,life can to say the least, be difficult at times,it is the nature of human existence.So here we have a great prophet he has had enough, so what does he do he prays,''I have had enough ,Lord'', now he is getting somewhere.You may be saying whats the good of praying,nothing will happen, that is were you are wrong. Elijah's weakness did not hinder his prayer,only sin does that, I leave the following with you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              James 5 v  17 - 18.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed                                                                           earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and                                                                           a half years. Then when he prayed again, the sky sent                                                                             down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.
