I don't understand how God decides who is healed or who dies or who lives.
The little girl was shot also at point blank range, another man shielded his wife from the shooter and died. He was a preacher man.
Gods ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts (old testament)
I was a victim of a vicious attack back in 1983, hit in the head with a big pipe I am told, but I didn't see it coming.
Woke up on the operating table being operated on with a green cloth over my face (hit me in the side of the head by my ear) with a very bright light up above the operating table.
The doctor said, "You've lost a lot of blood son"
I said thats nice and drifted off to sleep, waking up the next day in a hospital room that I couldn't afford.
I walked out two days later and didn't feel like smoking cigarettes anymore. Walked home seven miles away and saw my car all banged up with the windshield gone.
I know something happened that day and it is by faith that I believe in an intelligent designer that saved me for another day.
The reason is up to him ... sure glad he did.
If you want to argue ... there are other threads to proclaim faith or no faith.
Prayer is seeking Gods will ... not telling him what to do.
