I know someone who was raised in a church with partents who did not believe in doctors or modern medicine. Consequently, some of the children in that church died due to lack of the proper medicine.
My own belief is that God allowed the discovery of medicines, vaccinations, etc. and gave the gift of healing to those who are surgeons in order to bring healing where possible.
Although God is the giver and taker life, He also gives gifts to others so that we can be cured of diseases and ailments that our ancestors were not privy too. So it is important not to turn our backs on these gifts.
Although we have signed up with God how we are going to die, we just don't know what and when that is, so prayers can definitely help. The prayers can help guide us to the right doctors, etc. faster, if we are meant to be helped and not have as much suffering. The prayers can also lessen our pain, and help to sustain us with whatever we are going through. So there is always great value in prayers.
God bless you,
Lovingly,
In Christ's Love,
Chris
