1 Kings, Chapter 18 (part 2) - Pray Again | Prophets of Israel Daily

What do you do when you’ve prayed, looked for the answer, and the sky still looks completely empty? In Part 2 of 1 Kings Chapter 18, Elijah faces the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and the difference between false worship and genuine faith could not be clearer. The prophets of Baal scream and perform in desperation, but Elijah simply calls out, “Aneni Hashem, aneni” — “Answer me, Hashem, answer me” — and fire falls from heaven. Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the powerful meaning behind the cry “Hashem Hu HaElohim,” its connection to the closing moments of Yom Kippur, and the difference between shouting to manufacture God's presence and crying out because we recognize that He is already there. We also follow Elijah as he prays for rain and sends his servant to look toward the sea seven times—until finally, a tiny cloud appears and the three-year drought comes to an end.
