When I was a young teen I got infected lesions on my lower legs after scratches from berry picking. They progressively worsened and my mother was frantic but my father said, 'No, we'll pray for her'. Thankfully my mother finally said, 'While you pray I'm taking her to the doctor' or something similar could have been my fate!

Our God gave resources to His people and we are to use wisdom and take advantage of those things necessary to preserve health, especially when responsible for the wellbeing of children. Such very sad ignorance. I would imagine now that the father of that child feels God failed them. They are so focused on experiences that they know little of biblical truth! They are to be pitied and prayed for!
