We can wax philosophically over this, and walk away thinking that when your ticket is pulled its pulled. Then I would say that doubt is waiting at the door of every prayer room. Prayer changes things, and I'm totally not focused on it may be his or her's time. No, we will pray to see the optimum results no matter how bleak things may be.

Sometimes we forget that God isn't some eternally static portrait, but a living thinking BEING. We are, after all, made in His image. The Bible is full of examples of people reasoning with and interceding with God, and God responding to them.
