Prayer Request

Dear Sisters,
Would you please pray for my daughter Cara and her little girl Tehya? Tehya will be 4 years old on May 3. She has CP and a severe seizure disorder. After years of tests and many hospitalizations, there is no known cause or cure for her medical problems (it seems to be metabolic but nobody knows exactly what the core issue is). She doesn't walk or talk and is fed through a tube. Her legs are currently both casted in hopes of strengthening them so that she may someday be able to bear weight. For the last few months Tehya has been battling respiratory and ear infections; she doesn't "cure" easily as she is allergic to nearly all antibiotics.

In the last few days, Tehya's been crying for hours on end. She wakes from sleep and seems to be in pain. Her mom, Cara, is struggling with feelings of hopelessness and today she told me she is "giving up on God", "I have had it, I am tired of hoping, praying and trying to believe, I don't think He really cares!"

Can you join with me in asking our Lord to make His presence known to Cara? That she and Tehya might feel His loving embrace and that they may find peace and rest in Him.

Thank you so much!
Margie

UPDATE - Thank you all for praying. Cara is feeling reconnected to the Lord who made His presence known to her again through her 7 year old as he prayed out loud for her, "Dear God, Help mommy to have a better day and help Tehya too." Cara says, " if he can trust and believe how can I not?"
And indeed she did have a better day, Tehya too!
