How old was this woman? 20 or 70?

"I feel very blessed, I know God has something in store for me," Val says. "He has a purpose, I don't know what that is but I'm sure he'll tell me."In the meantime her family's faith has grown tremendously and they're all very thankful.
"I just give all the praise to God and I'm so thankful that he's taken care of me," says Val.
Not just the woman, but her entire family, have been given ever more reason for faith.
The doctors may be baffled. Val and her family are not.

To: Youngblood
Maybe they acted in accordance with what God had planned all along?

...the body wasn't even cold and they were being hustled for the organs already?
That's one dirty business, I'm sure.

God will not do anything in the world, but in answer to prayer.

No one knows the mind of God. Not me, not you, not Val and her family.
Perhaps God intended this as a test of their faith. The Bible records many such tests. Perhaps.
Perhaps God had delegated this woman's demise to an intern underling who didn't get the drill right. Perhaps.
Perhaps God saw this family's faith and was moved to make a miracle as an example of what faith can do. Perhaps.
Perhaps there is no God, and these good people wasted their time, and Val just happened to revive for no obvious reason. Perhaps.
I don't know, and neither do you. But Val and her family know as much as we do, and they are satisfied with their answer.
That's enough to satisfy me.

“Yeah, it was because of the prayers. That’s it. They made God change his mind.”
So get a metal wrist band for yourself that says; “In Case of Injury or Accident DO NO PRAY”

God appears to have done an awful lot of things around the universe without humans praying for them -- we're only beginning to discover the wonders that are out there, and most of them were unknown to humans prior to, say, the Hubble Telescope.
As to whether God requires prayers from humans before doing anything -for- humans, I dunno, but you could be right.

I have little respect for the US medical system, of course there is worse in other countries but still its a joke here, basically if you do not have hefty health insurance you are ignored, mistreated and or forgotten, only the wealthy get good medical care.
