On a personal level a prayer can give someone the power, mentally, to enact change or accomplish something. if they choose to attribute their successes and accomplishments to god because of their prayers so be it....

....but ultimately, its just a mental thing imo....placebo.....and i'm not saying that to be a jerk and be like "HA RELIGIOUS PEOPLE R DUMB".....just my opinion....i support people who pray for strength and guidance as long as they use that strength to actually do something....if your child is sick and you simply pray for him without taking action and seeing a doctor you're fuckin idiot....When someone posts something on FB Like "im going through a tough time!"...most of the comments will be "YOU'RE IN MY PRAYERS!" and on the surface that makes the person feel better....but there are people who post stuff like that, pray, and think that's all that needs to be done...if your friend needs help let them know you're praying for them, prayer for strength if you need it....but do something....help them....
