You have seen how your friend suffers with her terminal disease, Cancer. You've seen how she struggles with her pain. Then, you comfort her and even offer a prayer for her...but then, she cuts short your prayer and pleads with you, to please ask God to end her life. In that she assures you that she accepts your sincerity in your attempt to help her. Will you pray for the death of your dying friend when she asks you to do it?

Personally there are times when God will reveal to you what is Best. If I was praying for someone and had this request from someone who is close to me, I would be Sad because they are wanting this, but believing God it could be time to take them to a better place to end this suffering and pain. Watching someone die like this would be hard, especially this time of yr, but many times we just need to let go and learn to live our lives without them.

There is no harm in praying for it. But God will still be in control. If He says "No", it is "No".

i would probably cheat and ask for god to do what he thought best, which is a bit of a cop out, rather than directly ask him to end her life, but then again he would do what he thought best anyway, wouldn't he.

I really don't know what will I do. And I would never like to be in such situation. I lost my grandmother due to cancer. Its a deadly disease.

It would be very difficult to pray for a friend that he/she should die in order to end her suffering. And it's more difficult to watch your friend suffer everyday of her remaining life. So keeping her alive with the aid of devices/machines will only mean you are prolonging her suffering. I would pray for God's will to be done, for God to give her the strength and courage to bear the pain and for her to be ready when it's time for her to go.
