3/4 is good right?

I was at a  friends house on a Wednesday night. A lot of my friends from church were there. My one friend had gotten in a car crash, and she had much pain just lifting her arm up above her head. Another friend of mine was saying that God does do miracles. He told me to pray for her with him. So I did. After praying a short direct statement, she said she could lift her arm with 50% less pain. Then we went back and prayed for God to make it 100% better. She could then lift her arm up no problem. 
I was at a pool party at my friends house. One of my other friends had whiplash, and her neck was hurting her. so my group of friends prayed over her neck. We were saying that God will heal her, and keep her pain free. After about maybe 10 min, she said her neck felt better.
There was a girl in my youth group with a bump in the back of her head for months that was causing her pain. Doctors weren't sure exactly what it was. We felt led to pray for her and asked God to heal her. After 15-20 min of prayer (the whole group prayed for her), she said the bump was noticeably smaller. We continued to pray and declare the power of the name of Jesus Christ over her life and body. The bump was soon completely gone!
 Mom died of cancer about a year and a half ago. She was sick for four years. She was a real believer so I know she is in heaven! 
But I can't stop getting over that God did not heal my mom when she had numerous amounts of people praying for her and over a long period of time. I know that God is bigger than any heart ache, questions, or anything else in the world. Sin has vastly harmful effects on this fallen world beyond understanding. God does things that we can't explain or believe sometimes. That is when faith kicks in. Faith = trust, trusting God always is good and has your best interest at heart. Faith is not a feeling, it is an action, a decision. 
I do not know why my mom got cancer. I don't know why she died. But God has a bigger plan and picture for the whole world. Just one person's life is like a breath to God, as is says in Psalms. When we get to heaven, we will know God fully and understand the one who Created us. While we are here on earth, we must keep up on developing our relationships with God. 
Jesus is Lord of all! He deserves our lives and His power and authority are real. Let us adore him!
