My cousin has been in a medically induced coma for the last three weeks due to the coronavirus. We just found out today that he was sent to rehab for physical therapy. He is awake, cannot walk, and cannot talk due to damage to his vocal cords from being on a ventilator for three weeks.
My cousin has many religious friends who have posted ''get well soon'' messages on his Facebook page. I have spoken to my Uncle and Aunt wishing that he recover soon from the virus. I did not mention that I would pray for him. After 40 years as a Jehovah's Witness, I do not believe God listens and answers prayers. If God did listen and answer prayers, not one person would die from this virus. Why does one person get well from this virus and another person dies? If God is in the business of miracles, why limit his miracles for the few?
Here is a comment left on my cousins Facebook page:
Well, we definitely serve a mighty God that hears and answers prayers! Samuel was awake and watching tv when I called the hospital! Obviously Samuel is weak and has a long road ahead of him being in a coma for over 3 and a half weeks Thank u all for your prayers, nice comments and love for Samuel and our family during this time! We've been overwhelmed with gratitude! God is still in the business of miracles! He does for his children not because of anything good we've done but it's the unmerited favor of God on us!
