   In I Kings 19, we find Elijah. He needed to wait on the Lord for his strength to be renewed like an eagle. However, instead of sounding like a future flying eagle, he sounds like a person wishing they were dying. Although Elijah is afraid of those desiring to kill him and yet wants to die, God chose not to respond right then. Elijah had run a long ways. He was very tired. (Verse 5)
   
   Instead of dying under the juniper tree, Elijah slept.
