Texans cry out to God in miraculous rescue of 2 babies


“In the name of Jesus, let him breathe, Lord! Give that baby breath, Lord! Dear Jesus, please let this baby breathe,” a woman desperately prayed for an infant and a toddler who were on the brink of death.

She and a handful of Good Samaritans near Myrtle Springs, Texas, had stumbled on an upended Chevy truck trapped in rushing water Saturday. The incident happened just after the area was hit by tornadoes during a raging storm.

In chilling video footage captured by a man named Tom Mitchell, five or six Good Samaritans wade through rushing water to reach the black pickup truck. They desperately struggle to get the doors open, but the water makes it nearly impossible to do so.

Inside the flipped truck were a father, a toddler and a baby.

Just. What?

The prayer, NOT the CPR... is what we are crediting with this child's survival?

An uncountable amount of children with cancer, hunger, disease, poverty.. your God apparently doesn't care to help them, doesn't hear the cries and prayers of the people calling out for them.

But this child, whom by the way is having medical science developed CPR performed, is miraculously healed by your deity.

It's not the men who jumped to this childs rescue who are due the credit? But some deity that seems not to care about the cries of everyone else?

Classic confirmation bias. Give the credit where the credit is due.

Do me a favor... instead of praying for me... do something that will actually effect the world. Do something real. Go give some food to a homeless person... donate the time you'll be praying to a childrens cancer center.

At least you will actually be DOING something.

See... you believe in a God, that has a plan and knows everything. Ipso facto your prayer cannot, by the very definition of your deity, sway or change anything it intends or has predetermined.

So... stop pretending that you are doing or accomplishing something... and go out into the world and actually DO something.

You are judging. That's God's job.
There's an old saying..."if you only knew". I said a prayer for you 🙂

2:56 looks to me like some people pray to cope with life , But you bitch about things to cope with your problems, too each is own , miserable person!

You do realize what you are doing is not only judging me, but it is also condescending and insulting. It's a way for you to exclaim victory without actually DOING anything.. which was the entire point of what was previously written.

I've got no problem judging. We all do it every day. You did it, right here! There is no reason to believe in your deity... so what you claim it's job is is irrelevant.

Answer me this: do you believe your god has a plan? and knows all even before it happens (ie exists outside of space and time?)... if you do please explain to me what you think your prayer is effecting?

Oh the irony. I point out that prayer is actually doing nothing and convincing yourself you are doing nothing.

I encourage you to go out and actually do something to effect and improve the earth...

And you then ironically judge me... as the person who bitches about things to cope with problems.. then yet again judges me as a miserable person.

I think I rest my case. My work is done here.

Have not seen God cure cancer yet. Chemo and radiation seem to work sometimes.

Just cause you don't believe in God don't think you will escape His judgment. The world in all its evilness is caused by sin. Adam & Eve brought to this world. Everyone suffers. Not 1 person ever has been exempt from suffering. Since God didn't want any to perish, He gave His Son Jesus to pay for what we couldn't do. It really is that simple. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18.

Since you don't see or believe in God, Jesus, & the cross, it is foolishness to you. So yeah God is good all the time and is truth!

You may want to rethink your strategy. I find no reason to believe in your deity, nor any other deity for that matter... so threats don't really help your cause.

If the best argument you have is a strong arm extortion racket... you MAY want to rethink who you are backing.

Make sense? You must first demonstrate the deity before said threats of deity hold any weight. Plus... who makes legitimate decisions under duress?

Also, the absurdity of claiming that your Deity... who by the way is all powerful and can do anything.. doesn't want anyone to perish... yet lets it happen is a contradiction. You might want to rethink that one too.

Ironically, you claim your God is good at all times.. .yet it ordered the slaughter of women, pregnant women, children, and allowed slavery, and rape. Have you even read the Bible? Ask any person if these things are good.. they will correctly tell you no. So your argument doesn't hold up.
