Maybe she realized what a terrible job people are doing and hoped she would be able to blame it on God instead.
Perhaps, but it's highly unlikely.
Her parents are devout Christian Reform and she was referencing their claims. Specifically, their continual prayer requests that never EVER get answered.
For instance:
They prayed for a boy in their church for a healing of his Leukemia. Yep, the boy is still dying.
They prayed for funds to replace the front doors of their church which were damaged in a wind storm. Yep, the old doors are still there.
They prayed that a local girl would be found unharmed and returned to her family. Yep, she was found raped and murdered.
They prayed that my son's birthday would have good warm weather. Yep, it was cold and rainy.
They prayed for my aging uncles annual checkup. Yep, the doctor found skin cancer.
My wife wasn't blaming your god for the crimes of humans. She was referring to his complete lack of interest and power to effect anything.
I take that back ...
My mother-in-law did pray that she would find her eye-glasses - and voila, your god apparently does want old gullible imbeciles to see well.
