What you wish for...

You see a family at a hospital, their child is dying because it needs a heart transplant. The parents go to the chapel and pray. They pray to God for a heart to become available for their child.

Then they hear a heart has just become available. The transplant goes ahead and the child is saved. The parents go back to the chapel praying and giving thanks to God for this miracle.

But.

For this "miracle" to happen, somebody else's child has to die.

Which makes you think - when you go into the chapel to pray for your miracle, what are you actually praying for?

And what kind of God answers?
