Dear David,
You are going to drive yourself crazy with such questions. Most of us
pray for things all the time which aren't going to happen unless the
people we are praying for cooperate. For instance, we pray for them to
be guided to the Faith. These things are never simply an issue of
God's will versus human will. Life is about the two interacting
together.
warmest, Susan
