As our children are growing, and sometimes after they become adults, we see a way we could possibly help to make a task or a situation a little easier for them by giving further instructions or helping them in other ways. But there are times we stand back and wait until they ask for that help. We allow them the independence to make the choice that it is okay to ask for help. 

Sometimes, I think that may be the same way with God. In Matthew 6:8b, Jesus said, "For your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Like a parent, he is waiting for his child to ask him for help.

The Wife of a Man from the Company of the Prophets, did not hold back and cried out to Elisha. She knew he was God's prophet by the miracles God had performed through him. 

God is willing to help us just as he did the widow that came to Elisha. Most often, we do not really know what needs to be done to resolve our problem.  But we need to go to God with our problems so he can say, "How Can I Help You?"

Come join us as we examine the example of "The Wife of a Man from the Company of the Prophets."
