Widow of Zarephath and Her Son

Though Elijah came to Sidon, and God provided for the widow of Zarephath and her son, their problems were not yet over.

The widow’s young son suddenly got sick and died. The poor mother blamed herself. She asked Elijah if he came to them just so that she might be made aware of her sin and watch her son die in response to her sinfulness.

He responded by carrying the young lad to his room and praying over him. Three times he pleaded to the Lord, begging for God to bring the young boy back to life.
