One thing that I learned by going to Church is that God has his reasons for everything. When people pray for safety and health, yeah its nice, but God is going to do what he wants right? So when you pray for things like "heal my friend", aren't you trying to play God by telling Him what to do?
I know that when I pray, I alway pray for God to lead me in the right direction, or to ask him to let me know how to help people get through things. I just think that when somthing happens, it happens because God wanted it to.
I had a long term family friend that had died of cancer, who was a baptist. She didn't want people praying for her health because she said it was God's will. I know that people feel resentment towards God for things like this, but I figure that God might need the person in Heaven.
What is truely is a better gift, life on Earth, or an eternal life in Heaven with God?
