Really, what does it hurt?
Whether you believe in the power of prayer is insignificant. What matters is that the person making the request *does* believe that prayer has the power to heal, to change things. Why answer if all you can add are harsh words and bad feelings.
Most people who scoff at prayer respect meditation. The two are not so far removed. Both relax the mind and body, lower blood pressure, instill a feeling of calmness, and allow for solutions to problems to be seen once the mind becomes cleared, and the person is able to focus.
You might know it as "the power of positive thinking."
Whatever you call it, whatever you believe, can you try to be respectful to those in need? It wouldn't hurt, and it might even help.
Just thought I'd throw this out there.
