I have a very good friend who was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. I went to the Dr. with her and heard all the news first hand. SHe definitly had Cancer and it had spread to her stomach and pretty much everywhere else. They said she had 6 months to live without Chemo and about a year with it. She was floored and I was shocked. Never expected that.
I promised her I would do anything I could to help. She soon decided to follow through with Chemo and live longer. In the mean time she was very active in her church, always has been and she stayed faithful. SHe volunteered and there was a group of church elders who would pray over her and annoint her everyday in the morning. well about 6 months later after a few surgeries and the awfulness of chemo we were at the doctors and her doctor comes in and is just smiling. HE siad he has no idea what happened but they cannot find any cancer at all. Not even an abnormal cell. He showed us before and after Xrays some taken as recently as a couple of weeks ago.
He had no explanation but My friend gave all the credit to God. I could not explain it and simply accepted it as a miracle. There simply was no other explaination. I now attend church faithfully and truly believe there is a God. Call me crazy or ignorant but you simply cany deny that something happened and it cannot be explained. Not even with science. Anyway this seemed like a good time to share the story.

How many people get cancer and pray to God sincerely and still die? How many truly faithful people still perish earlier than they deserve? For each person who prays to God to be healed and manages to survive miraculously, 100 people pray with all their hearts and die anyway. This is not God at work, this is what statisticians call selection bias -- the only reports of God are from those who
survive. What did your friend do so special to deserve special treatment from God?
Not to downplay your friend's recovery or anything, but any time people don't understand things, it's attributed to divine intervention. God intervened for your friend but didn't stop the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda and Darfour? I find that hard to believe.
