You want to produce. When your questions become about production, which we image as "saving souls-'Do you know the lord?'" but is actually just extending your understanding, amazing things will start to happen. When your prayers become requests about production issues, you will understand how all prayers get answered. They can often be prayers for personal requests with the above in mind, but trust that if answering your prayer "yes" will not cause some kind of growth, you are wasting your time.
I try to put my questions to the same test. If they aren't questions that will result in some kind of growth or edification...

Ah. That explains it. If God had healed my brother, there would not have been some kind of growth or edification.

Exactly, as hard as that may be for you. Trust that more growth for your brother, who this is really about, resulted also. If your beef is that people die, then see how far we have come here, despite ourselves; our infant mortality is impressively low. If you are upset that your brother died for purely personal reasons, the day of a man's death is better than the day of his birth, and he most likely would not have returned if given a choice, which evidence would indicate he did. Oh, and your Father is not beyond raising you with a brother and taking him, having invented "the day of a man's death," and thus fully understanding it, just to show both your brother and you, and the 10 other people affected, all separate lessons. Any unresolved questions about the state of your brother's soul, or something? Take comfort in the fact that we do not have a very good grasp of this lost/saved thing, and that your brother was happy where he found himself, or probably could have returned. I'm sorry for your loss.
