God sees the big picture, therefore I God justily knows that for a baby to leave suffering of this world is actually better for the baby.
Secondly, there are many things that God would love to do, but doesn't because he's not invited to do them. God is a gentleman. I believe He actually said that His will is that none perish... but He won't force rescue on anyone.
I don't read anywhere that a door is opened... even if they never knock, or that answers are ever found... even if they never search... or that it's given... if they never ask.

OK, you have a point there. From God's point of view, a dead baby is a good thing, indeed. (But nobody is supposed to carry that logic through to its only possible conclusion: that it is good to kill babies. Please. Don't.)
How about a sick adult? Did God let my brother die of cancer because He never heard a request for healing, or because He
wanted him to die?
