2 Kings 6:16-17
v. 16: Elisha told him, Don’t be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them. Elisha encouraged his servant, saying, "Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." This is a promise for all of God’s people when we feel surrounded by troubles. God and his angels are stronger and more numerous than any enemy. If God is on our side, nothing can stand against us. v. 17: Elisha prayed, and God opened the servant’s eyes. The servant saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. This was God’s army, protecting them. Then Elisha prayed, "LORD, open his eyes that he may see." God answered, and the servant saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha. These were angels sent to protect them. Sometimes, we only see the danger, but God can help us see his protection. When we truly see God's power, our fears go away. Helping others to trust God and praying for them is one of the best things we can do.
