Useless Prayer
Many people still pray. From infancy to senility they continue to believe in the power of prayer. Unfortunately, God - the Father, could not answer the prayer of God - the Son. Indeed, Jesus, crucified on the cross, prayed out loud: My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Well, why couldn’t Jesus as a God himself, answer His own prayer? Jesus was obviously just bragging to high heavens when He declared: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Poor Jesus, the Son of God, a bunch of superstitious primitives ( created in the image and likeness of His Father God ) managed to get Jesus crucified on a piece of wood? John 14:6. Poch Suzara

There is no evidence that prayers work. And only idiots would present anecdotes as evidence. And even then they cherry pick, commit the psychological error of selective attention, and remember or point out only the apparent success and not the failures, thus managing to add to their list of errors the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.
Every well-designed controlled scientific study of the efficacy of prayer has thus far shown that prayers don't live up to their promise of effectiveness. When will people wake up and stop pinning their hopes on cosmic wishing wells?
