Tell the Lord what my bitter distress

2 Kings 4:8-37
Elisha let the Shunammite's woman has a son, for she invited Elisha to her home for meal and prepared a roof room for his rest whenever Elisha comes.
One day the son was suddenly dead, the  woman put her son on the bed of the prophet and shut the door,  she didn't tell anyone about this, she replied "It's all right."
Elisha saw the woman came and she hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said,'Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why."
Elisha went to the woman's home after the woman said she will not leave Elisha.
Elisha turn the son's life back and said to the woman "Take your son". She came in, fell at his feet an bowed to the ground Then she took her son and went out.
The childless woman if Shunem who gave Elisha generous hospitality and the feeding of the hungry. Elisha did the same miracle to this woman  like Elijah.
Why?
The Lord does not let his servant know everything happened around us the reason why!
When trouble comes, tell someone else is useless, tell the one who can in charge of it is meaningful. Tell the Lord, for he has the power to turn the life back only.
How?
Don't always ask why, but asked myself what can I do? Tell the Lord what I have bitter distress
