King Ahab returned to his wife Jezebel and told \n her what had happened. She was FURIOUS! Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah and she \n meant it. Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. I wonder what you would have done? \n Elijah was really fed up. He had done what God had asked of him and now his life was \n in danger. In desperation, Elijah prayed to God to take his life away from him. God \n came and found Elijah and asked him what the matter was. He told Elijah to go and \n stand on the mountain for He, God, was about to pass by. Elijah heard a great and \n powerful wind. Then he experienced an earthquake but God was not in either of these \n things. After the earthquake came fire – and God was not to be found here either. But \n after the fire Elijah heard a gentle whisper and it was in these quiet words that Elijah \n found the strength and courage to carry on. \n God is primarily a God of peace. I wonder how you experience God’s peace?","bbox":{"left":0.198819,"top":0.182423,"width":0.458707,"height":0.298769}},{"text":"Prayer for the week: \n Father Almighty, we pray \n for your peace on earth - \n for peace that is life-giving; \n for peace that is love- \n bearing; for peace that is \n true freedom; for peace that \n is purposeful; for peace that \n is prevailing.
