Prayer Request

Hey guys,
I was just commenting on Kath's blog about letting people know when you have prayer requests...and it brought to my mind something that I'd like to request prayer for as well.

Most of you reading this (if you don't know - ask and I'll update you or read previous posts) have heard about the incident that happened with Tyler just before Christmas. He was in a vehicle with a friend when someone jumped in the vehicle to steal it. Both Tyler and his friend were able to escape with little physical injury, but it has mentally affected Tyler since. Tyler will often run from where he is in the house -to the front door and lock it - for no particular reason. He will not get into a vehicle unless my parents put him in - and then immediately walk around to the other side and get in...even if his little brothers are already in the vehicle. He's not comfortable going to some public places, like restaraunts. He'd rather have drive-thru and eat in the vehicle (preferrably with it driving...not sitting still). There are a few other things as well, but the point of this is that it has left an impact on him that he is finding hard to overcome.
Anyone that know Tyler knows that he is an extremely friendly, outgoing kid that is expressive and fun. These actions are not like him. We've been taking specific action to help him get past this, but would also welcome the prayer support of others. Please help us by praying for Tyler.

Thank you, your support is genuinely appreciated and means alot to us.
