Remy Sommers: The Faith of a Child

CBN.com On any given day, you'll find 10-year-old Remy Sommers kicking her soccer ball, driving her toy car in the backyard, or talking about her dog.

Remy: His name is "Chewy" and he is a shitsu. When we found him on the street, he was black. But we gave him three baths and he was white!

You wouldn't know it to look at her now, but not long ago little Remy suffered from excruciating headaches.

Mom: She was always in pain, always complaining that she had a headache. They would happen in the morning before school, in the middle of the day...

Remy: I can't really expain it. They felt like all sorts of things like people punching my head, needles, and basically everything.

Mom: She'd be holding her head for hours and hours. Even after getting her medication it just wouldn't take away the headache.

She decided it was time to take Remy to her doctor.

Mom: Her pediatrician did a series of tests on her just to make sure that there was no organic problem going on and they she sent her for an MRI of the brain to rule out any kind of tumor.

The doctors said there was nothing physically wrong; yet the headaches persisted. Then one night, Remy and her mom were watching one of their favorite TV Shows - The 700 Club.

Mom: We were watching Pat Robertson when he got a work of knowledge and he was praying for certain people. He prayed for many different types of ailments and many different types of sicknesses that people have. But headaches were not mentioned. So after the prayer time and the end of the show, Remy became really upset. She said, "They didn't pray for me. They didn't pray for my headaches." And I said, "Honey, you know there's a lot of people that need prayer. Maybe tomorrow or the next day they might pray for headaches."

Then Remy made up her mind. She knew what she needed to do.

Mom: She said, "That's it. I'm calling The 700 Club." Knowing the faith of a child, I let her call.

Remy remembers what she said to the counselor.

Remy: I said, "I have a headache. Can you pray for me?"

As weeks went by, to everyone's amazement, the headaches vanished.

Now it has been over a year since Remy called the Prayer Counseling Center, and to date the headaches have never returned.

Remy's mom thanks God for The 700 Club and for the Prayer Counseling Center.

Mom: Nothing helped Remy's headaches. Giving her medication, the doctors, and different types of treatments to control the pain had all failed. But the prayer counselors were so kind to her and were moved by the Holy Spirit to speak the right words to her. They comforted her and reminded her that God was listening.

Remy would encourage other kids and adults to watch The 700 Club because she has seen how people have suffered and how God has changed their lives.
