Elijah told the widow to first prepare a small loaf of bread for him but not to fear because the Lord has promised the flour and oil would not run out. That means she was asked to first give of what she had to the Lord’s servant before the miracle would be seen. That required her to trust in the Lord, and be obedient to the Lord’s word.
