Prayer Request

Hey guys! I have an urgent request. If I have any audience at all, please be praying. My aunt called me a week or so ago to tell me that her friend's 1-year-old daughter had an accident. She choked on some food and was deprived of oxygen for a dangerous amount of time. She's been in the hospital ever since, and we've all been praying for her. Some bad news was received today, though. Even though the little girl had been taken off of the machines, they were keeping her in the hospital to run tests. The test results came back today. Doctors say she is 75% brain dead. I cannot imagine what that news feels like to her parents. I am not fortunate enough to be in that stage of my life. I can't imagine there is anything harder for a parent, though. So I ask you to be praying for the parents. I know that with God we are a majority, and it is in His power to heal her if that be His will. But, we do not know the will of God. It is not for us to know at this time. What we can do is pray for everyone involved, and that this poor little girl is not suffering. We cannot despair, for there is always a purpose in everything God does. Let us consider that if this girl is not healed and God takes her, she will only be beating us to the finish line. It is a blessing to think that this child may see our Father so soon. It is not a hopeless situation, like an unsaved family member. There is at least the assurance that if she doesn't make it, her parents will see her again. So, pray for them. Pray that they rest in God during this, and that they do not despair. Let them seek out God in this most horrific trial. Please be vigilant in this. You would beg others to do the same if you were in their shoes. Thank you for your prayers. That is all.
