In a tragic story from my own state of Wisconsin [1], an 11-year-old girl died last week because her parents trusted God to heal her. The parents apparently didn’t realize that their child had diabetes, so they never sought medical help. Instead, they prayed.
Though not reported in the StarTribune article, local radio reported that the parents did not blame God for letting their daughter die. Instead, they blamed themselves…not for failing to seek medical help, but for failing “to have enough faith” to heal their daughter with prayer. Sheesh.
