If god is not going to intervene, then why do we have prayer? Prayer is essentially people asking god to intervene in their lives for one reason or another.
Well, I've not actually heard anyone pray, "And Lord, please protect Sister Mary Joseph from being raped as she walks back to her car after bingo tonight", but I suppose God would be open to the suggestion should anyone offer it up.
Really, you never heard of anyone pray for the safety of another?
