No, you can and should beg god for devine intervention that he probably doesnt do and thank for his gracefullness which he hasnt shown. Or at least whoreship him, because he is so great and benevolent while he is hearing the prayers and letting good people die nevertheless. Or maybe there werent enough prayers yet, for THE POPE.
“God works in mysterious ways” is the only “explanation” religious clowns have. It’s 100% post-hoc justification. If they’re bad, they deserve it. If they’re good, then they must secretly be bad and deserve it. If they’re really good and don’t deserve it, then, “God works in mysterious ways”. Always. Every time.
There is no questioning faith, only declaring heresy to such clowns. If things didn’t work out for you, it’s not a systemic problem here, it’s because you deserved it!
The theological explanation from Catholic dogma would be along the lines of God doesn’t really interfere with the day-to-day goings on of the world.
Is prayer actively discouraged in Catholicism?

It all makes a lot of sense you see.
