The Lord meets Elijah where his fear (of Jezebel's threat), his despair (praying that he might die), and his pride ("I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty...I am the only one left...) meet. It is a dark, lonely place, a cavern. And God speaks in a barely audible whisper or perhaps in "the sound of sheer silence."
God, by the light of Your presence transform the dark, lonely, cavernous reaches of my soul into a temple of Your Holy Spirit. Speak, and Your servant will both shout and sing!
