2nd Kings 1-2

The start of 2nd Kings has Elijah preparing to ascend into heaven, while Elisha takes the reigns from Elijah. All of the other prophets seem to know that Elijah will be taken up soon. Elisha keeps telling them to stop talking about it. He also asks Elijah for a double portion of his power. What I learned from these passages was that you shouldn't feel bashful about asking God for things you might need. Elisha wanted double the power Elijah had and asked for it. What do you specifically want God to do for you? Be as specific as possible when you ask God for things, and if He gives them to you, tell others what God has done for you.
