When a little Christian girl is sick, and is on the borderline of death and life, how should we pray?
Most people will pray for her recovery, for God's healing and for God's comfort for the girl.
However, even if God takes the girl away, is that such a bad thing? The innocent girl will be with Jesus, and will escape from the pain of this world. She will enjoy the eternal relationship with our Lord instead of struggling with sin in this world as she grows up. Wouldn't it be better for her to be taken away from this evil world where we do not belong?
Maybe the reason why we pray for recovery is for our own self interest - we want to see the little girl grow up, or we don't want to lose the girl. But maybe from the point of view of the girl's interest, it would be better for her to be in heaven.
The only prayer we should pray may be for God's will be done.

Thanks dude, I was thinking something similar to this before. We can only guess what God's will is.
