You may have not been paying much attention to God lately, but I'm quite sure that He has been paying much attention to you.
Gods Timing is indeed Perfect. When the thief on the cross accepted Christ as LORD before his death, perhaps a family member who had grieved over him prayed that he would someday have a change of heart. And perhaps this family member prayed for him days, months or if not years before his death. I firmly believe that even a lone individual upon closing his/her eyes upon death can call upon the LORD with genuine faith, and the LORD will listen, and the LORD will save their soul from death and bring them into everlasting life.
God Bless!
