When asked to imagine their own relatives being gravely ill or injured, nearly 20 percent of doctors and other medical workers said God could reverse a hopeless outcome.

In other words more than 80% thought that it was ridiculous.

God is in control. . .but He sometimes uses doctors to accomplish healing.

I’ve personally witnessed a lot of prayer gatherings in my church for a number of people who were dying. Most of them ended up dying anyway. I don’t claim to know the mind of God, but it would seem to me that the act of dying is indeed something totally random in nature and very rarely influenced directly by the Almighty.

God gave us complete freedom from interference over the choices and direction we choose in life, and I believe he’s done the same with death.

Since no one can predict when they will die, it would seem to me to be more important to make sure you are prepared to stand before God whenever your time does come. Prayer is good, but preparation is important too.
