“取几枝箭来…打地罢。他打了三次，便止住了。神人向他发怒，说，应当击打五六次。”（王下13：18-19）
这几句话的信息多么警惕！约阿施取箭打地，自以为打了二次，三次，已经很有信心了。但是神和神人都大失所望。因为他半途而废。
约阿施曾得到一些东西，并且得的不少——他所得的，和他所信的，适正相符，但是他没有得到神所要给他的一切。他失了许多应许和祝福。他得了一些比别人好的东西，可是他没有得到神的最好。
亲爱的，这是多么严重的一件事！我们应当学习祷告得透切！我们希望完全得到神所应许的，以及祷告所可能得到的一切事物吗？——宣信
“充充足足的成就一切超过我们所求所想的。”（弗3：20）
让我们看保罗所用的字句——“充充足足”、“一切”、“超过”…啊！每一个字里面包含着神无限的爱和能力！按照着神在我们身上发生作业的能力，它是没有限量的。我们若让神发生多少作用，神就能发生多少作用，那援助我们，那以神自己的血，洗涤我们的一切罪过，用圣灵来充实我们的力量，使我们渡过种种的诱探，帮助我们应付一切危难，一切事变，一切环境与一切逆境。——宣道会报
Take the arrows... Smite upon the ground. And he smote twice and stayed. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times (2 Kings 13:18, 19).
How striking and eloquent the message of these words! Jehoash thought he had done very well when he duplicated and triplicated what to him was certainly an extraordinary act of faith. But the Lord and the prophet were bitterly disappointed because he had stopped half way.
He got something. He got much. He got exactly what he believed for in the final test, but he did not get all that the prophet meant and the Lord wanted to bestow. He missed much of the meaning of the promise and the fullness of the blessing. He got something better than the human, but he did not get God's best.
Beloved, how solemn is the application! How heart searching the message of God to us! How important that we should learn to pray through! Shall we claim all the fullness of the promise and all the possibilities of believing prayer?

"Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think" (Eph. 3:20).
There is no other such piling up of words in Paul's writings as these, "exceeding abundantly above all," and each word is packed with infinite love and power to "do" for His praying saints. There is one limitation, "according to the power that worketh in us." He will do just as much for us as we let Him do in us. The power that saved us, washed us with His own blood, filled us with might by His Spirit, kept us in manifold temptations, will work for us, meeting every emergency, every crisis, every circumstance, and every adversary.
