Elisha had a choice. Freak out. Fold. Or look up. Elisha chose to look up and lean into an “even though / I will” faith. He declared, “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them” (v. 16). And then he prayed. Not for himself. Not for deliverance from the pursuing army. Elisha prayed for his servant. Weird, no? Why would he do that? Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see” (v. 17).
