This story will be found in 1 Kings 17.
Elijah was a prophet of the Lord in Israel during the reign of wicked King Ahab. Elijah told Ahab there would not be _ _ W nor rain because he had forsaken the Lord God. Without rain there would soon be famine, and even Elijah would have a hard time finding food to eat.
The Lord told Elijah to go to the brook _ H _ R _ _ H and the _ A _ E _ S would feed him there. Elijah did so, and he drank of the _ R _ _ K.
However, the brook _ R _ _ D up. Then the Lord told him to go to Zarephath and there a certain W _ D _ _ woman would sustain him. He found her gathering S _ I _ K _ with which to cook the last meal for herself and her S _ _.
Elijah told her to make a cake for him first, then one for herself and her son, for the Lord said the barrel of _ E _ L would not W _ _ T _, nor the cruse of _ _ L fail, until He sent rain upon the earth. And so it came to pass.
But one day the widow’s son became very sick and she thought he had _ _ _ D. Immediately she told Elijah. He carried the boy upstairs and laid him on his own bed. Then he stretched himself upon the child _ H _ E _ times and _ R _ _ _ D to the Lord. The Lord _ _ A _ D Elijah’s prayer and the child revived. Elijah carried him to his mother and said, “See, thy son L _ V _ _ _.”
Well, boys and girls, we learn from this story how the Lord Jesus cares for those who put their trust in Him. He hears their prayers too in time of need. If you haven’t trusted Him as your Saviour, why not do so now?
