When Elijah spoke to God on the mountain what was his request of God? Scripture doesn't record his request. There is nothing obvious to Elijah's prayer. But if we look at God's response (15-18) to the prophet's prayer the idea at which Elijah was striking becomes apparent; I don't want to do this anymore. Elijah cites three reasons for his request:
1 - His faithfulness is being over shadowed by Israel's rebellion.
2 - He feels like his is the only voice for righteousness left.
3 - His life was being threatened now.
