The Purpose Driven Life: You are not an Accident (but How Much Did God Plan Really?)
Google Search It
"He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and your death."
Okay, this seems pretty obvious but lets consider the implications. If God has planned the exact time of a person's birth and death then the implication would be that prayer could not have any effect on these times. Yet I certainly have the perception that prayer can do anything. What would be the point on even praying for someone to live through a terrible accident or that a child would not die from a particular disease if in reality the prayer had no effect because the days were planned in advance.
Personally, I would argue in favor of the power of prayer and the fact that God is even greater because he does respond to prayer rather than go with a predefined plan.
