The reality - A suffering world

We have been praying for a little girl living in our estate, slightly younger than Candra, for a while. The last time we saw her, she had lost a lot of weight and we were told that she was always throwing up after her food and milk.

Today, I received news from someone that a little girl, of her similar description, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. I think she's probably the one we had been praying for. She underwent an operation, is currently in ICU, lost sight completely in one eye and losing sight in the other.

My heart broke when I was informed of her condition. She's only about 10 months old. Her family's devastated and grieving over her condition. We've not been seeing her around at the playground for a while.. cos she's been in hospital.

Such great suffering indeed, that this family is going through. The little girl's going through so much pain from her illness at such a young age. This is the reality of the world that we live in. People around us suffering tremendously, grieving in pain.

This family needs hope and strength to face tomorrow. This child needs so much inner strength to face her future if she recovers.

Only God can give us strength and hope in suffering.... nothing else in this world can.

Please keep this family in prayers, cry out to the Lord for them.

We are praying alongside them... that's all we can do for now.
