Prayers and Miracles?

Today a local company of Chimney Sweeps came out and cleaned out the chimney. Before they left, the owner, said "let me tell you about my miracle." I told her sure. She said last year she had cancer on her right index finger, they amputated to the second knuckle. She noticed a lump about the size of a decent sized potato under her right arm. She said the doctors removed 26 lymph nodes and gave her 6 months to 1 1/2 years to live. She says today she is cancer free and does not understand it. She says God took good care of her. Anything is possible and I will not begin to attempt to explain it because I have no idea. The question I have is, I have never heard a member of the church of Christ tell such a story, have you? We say we believe in prayer and we pray and everyone with serious illness dies and no one questions the results. Don't we have to allow for the possibility that we are wrong in our beliefs and teaching? James said you ask and do not receive because you ask for the wrong reasons. Religious groups around us say they experience miraculous healing similar to Joyce. We do not like to consider things. Karl Marx said religion is the opiate of the people and he may have been right things.
