Would "thank you for not killing him/her altogether" be appropriate?

This is a hypothetical situation. I'll be discussing it with my Sunday school class this week.

Call your local charlatan, I mean minister , to consult on ways to hand over your loot in gratitude to God. We need to get the word out.
God is goooood.
Come to Jesus.

Yes, that would be a start...Sometimes God uses trials like these to show others the kind of inner strength that is needed and that they don't have. Your loved one is probably far more grateful than you know. Would you have rather they died during the worst part of the illness even knowing that they could have been healed after a while? I'm sorry for your loved one's suffering but I'm even more sorry that God did not use it to teach you something too...or maybe He has.

Yes just a prayer of thanksgiving, along with hoping that through their ordeal they have grown closer to God and can use what they have learned to help others in some way.
PTL! Awesome when people we love make it through trials and tribulations.

are not you a Christian? the two way, Jesus meant to be like little ones in that young ones are receptive to the word of God. Scripture additionally states: a million Corinthians 13:11 while i became a baby, I spoke as a baby, I understood as a baby, i presumed as a baby: yet as quickly as I became a guy, I positioned away infantile issues. -till at last Christ Returns God Bless

We can pray that their suffering was not in vain. A person can offer up suffering and accomplish much spiritual good. We become stronger people through adversity. So you could thank God that He brought them through it and pray they will be better for it.

No it wouldn't be at all appropriate ... but you should thank God fore seeing them through the 'bad times' ... because God may not have 'made them happen' but he sure was there 'in the end' because they did SURVIVE and are presumably 'fine' now!

The Christians, Muslims, Jews, and others will say to you, "Be ye thankful the great smiter spared your loved one the greatest smiting that he could've smited him'her with.
They tell you that you better kiss the smiter's golden ring before he puts another smiting on him/her or someone else.
If the person had died, you would be advised to thank the smiter that the poor victim won't be smitten on this side again.
Thats what they'd say, and you'd be best to ignore it all.

I would probably give thanks and have faith in knowing that nothing happens in Gods world by mistake.
I know, it may sound cruel at first...but out basic prayer is "thy will, not mine be done"
Your loved one may have had to go through the situation to be able to bear witness to another person and in doing so give them hope.....
Give thanks and ask in your prayers what you can do for the one who is still suffering, the answers will come....
Blessed Be!

You better be throwing out "I thank you's".
God can be sweet as Aunt Jemima's pancake syrup when He's happy.
If you tee him off , he can be as wrathful as the worst monster any good voodoo priest can whip up.
