🕊️ Fear not — Ask God to open your eyes - Part 2
📖 2 Kings 6:16–17 “So he answered, ‘Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’ And Elisha prayed, and said, ‘LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.’ Then 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.”

Elisha did not first ask God to remove the enemy army. Instead, he prayed that his servant’s eyes would be opened. The real problem was not the army surrounding the city—it was the servant’s limited perspective.
The moment God opened his eyes, nothing in the natural had changed. The enemy was still there. Yet the servant suddenly saw a reality that had existed all along: God’s protection had been surrounding them the entire time.
How often is it the same with us? We ask God to change our circumstances, while He first wants to change the way we see them. When we recognize that God is with us, fear begins to lose its grip. His presence is not merely a future hope—it is a present reality.
📖 Psalm 34:7
“The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.”
God has never abandoned His children. Even when our eyes cannot immediately see His help, His presence remains just as real. Faith begins where we choose to trust God’s Word above what our natural eyes can see.
🙌 Fear not—don’t only ask God to change your circumstances; ask Him to open your eyes to His presence.
