Given my spiritual life, I would say no, God will not intervene. Could God intervene? In my mind, yes, however I find it unlikely, and if God did, it could be explained away without a stretch of the imagination - in other words through logical and most likely possible, medical, means.
I am not really a religious person. I am spiritual, very much so, but not religious. I had a "dying loved one" and I prayed on my knees with my head to the concrete, begged, bargained etc. It was at that moment that I almost could hear a voice in my head telling me that my prayers, while appreciated, will not change the forthcoming events. No one could figure out what made my loved one sick, but regardless, the timeline that I knew was coming was going to be played out, period.
So I will say that I feel that God listens, but listening and comforting vs changing events are two different things entirely.
