9 And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 So he said, a“I have been very bzealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and ckilled Your prophets with the sword. dI alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”  

God’s Revelation to Elijah

11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand aon the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord bpassed by, and ca great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake;  
12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire1 a still small voice.  
13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he awrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. bSuddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”  
14 aAnd he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

I Kings 19:11-12

The third solution: have new hopeful expectations. Once God had Elijah's attention, He readjusted his expectations. Continuing on in verses 11 and 12,

Elijah had unrealistic expectations. God was not in the wind or the earthquake. Instead, God had readjusted Elijah's expectations, coming to him as a still small voice. Elijah learned that God's work is often an inner work of the heart and mind.
