I've been there many times, too.  My nemesis is a self-destruct mode that kicks in sometimes, and by the grace of God I'm still around.  God's intervention is pure love and grace whenever we want to be dead more than live.  In that passage, God agreed with Elijah that the journey was too much for him, but he offered a solution:  nourishment and rest, not only for the body, but for the soul.

Thank you for your blunt honesty.  We're not alone like this, are we.
