2 Kings‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬ — When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”

This week is devoted to prayer. In today’s reading, the Prophet Elisha asks God for the servant to see an army protecting them in the spiritual realm. Wouldn’t this be amazing to see today!

Tara-Leigh Cobble in The Bible Recap says, “our prayers are a tool in God’s hand to accomplish what God has planned for us.” This goes along with what Pastor Mark Batterson says, “the greatest tragedy in life is the prayers that go unanswered because they go unasked.”

In my thoughts, God’s plan unfolds no matter what but when we pray and get answers (yes, no, not yet) we have the blessing to see God move. So if we don’t pray, it’s like we are walking around in the dark and don’t see God move. Reread today’s key verse. Take a moment to think about the Spiritual realm all around us. Do you desire to be in constant communication with God?

Let’s pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for direct communication with You through prayer. I love our relationship and that I can share everything with You. I desire to see Your glory unfold. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
