Biblical Lessons on Self-Care: Elijah's Story in 1 Kings 19

I want to encourage you to ask people around you to help. What has helped us during this time of grieving and loss is a friend, a close friend of mine put together a meal train, and that has been a real lifesaver.
Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain? In this episode of 'Recovered Life', Ashley Wilson takes a heartfelt dive into the importance of self-care, using the story of Elijah from 1 Kings 19:1-8 as a guide. Ashley begins by sharing how even ancient scriptures can offer timeless wisdom on looking after ourselves during tough times. She recounts the tale of Elijah, who, feeling lost and exhausted, was visited by an angel who encouraged him to eat, drink, and rest.
This simple yet profound act of self-care helped Elijah regain his strength and purpose. Ashley doesn't just stick to biblical stories; she opens up about her own life too. She talks about the recent loss of her mother-in-law and how it impacted her and her husband's self-care routines. Through her personal anecdotes, she highlights the essential role of community support.
For instance, a friend organized a meal train for them, which turned out to be a lifesaver during their grieving period. The episode emphasizes that self-care isn't just about pampering oneself but addressing basic needs like eating well, staying hydrated, and asking for help when needed. Ashley’s reflections make the episode relatable and offer practical advice on how to incorporate self-care into daily life, especially during challenging times.
If you’re looking for a mix of spiritual guidance and real-life stories to inspire your self-care journey, this episode is a must-listen.
