Peter had completely rational fears and concerns; it’s just that he was distracted from the most important thing that was right in front of him the whole time
Us
Where Elijah’s fears irrational?
He felt alone
He was weary in fighting
He was under direct threat
Revelation 13:9–10 ESV
If anyone has an ear, let him hear: If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
Psalm 85:8–9 ESV
Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
