Elijah’s Burnout Recovery Plan

One of the most revealing stories about exhaustion in the Bible appears in 1 Kings 19. Elijah had just experienced a dramatic spiritual victory on Mount Carmel.

Quotes by Charles Stone (?)

“Gratefulness is actually good for brain and body health (Korb, 2012). In one study researchers asked participants to keep a daily journal of what they were grateful for. They asked another group to write about what annoyed them. The group who recorded what they were grateful for showed greater determination, attention, enthusiasm, and energy compared to the other group. In another study the same researchers discovered that even keeping a weekly gratefulness journal reduced aches and pains. And in a Chinese study, gratefulness decreased depression and improved sleep.”
― Charles Stone, Brain-Savvy Leaders: The Science of Significant Ministry
