“Are You Bold Enough to Ask God for a Double Portion?” June 7
What are you asking God for these days?
For many of us, our prayers revolve around solving problems, meeting needs, protecting loved ones, and helping us get through difficult situations.
None of those things are wrong.
But what if our prayers are often too small?
What if God is willing to do far more through ordinary believers than we ever dare to ask?
In today’s reading, Elisha makes a startling request. As Elijah’s ministry comes to an end, Elisha doesn’t ask for comfort, safety, wealth, or success.
He asks for a double portion.
Why would he ask such a thing?
And why do so few of us pray that way today?
Is it humility? Fear? Unbelief? Or have we simply forgotten that God delights in displaying His power through weak people who trust Him?
Today’s reading challenges us to think bigger—not about ourselves, but about what God can do through those who are willing to say, “Lord, send me.”
