that this people may know that you, O LORD, are God
This story is worth reading today (all the bible is worth reading ya nit pickers [i look forward to your comments]). Elijah goes up against 450 prophets of Baal and totally (and figuratively) burns them!
But, once again, look at the motive in Elijah's prayer. His reason for calling down fire from heaven was so that God's people would believe. He was not worried about getting his pride hurt or looking foolish, Elijah's purpose for this was to show God's power, so that, His people would believe.
Don't pray for your personal success today unless it's directly connected to the glory of God being manifested through successes. -Maggard (thefieldistheworld.wordpress.com)
