Why would you think that? God tells us to PRAY to Him. He wants us to pray without ceasing! Of course He knows what will happen, but he wants us to pray- Therefore why don't you trust Him?
Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
1 Peter 3:12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
1 Thessalonians 5:17
pray without ceasing,

Christians do not need proof that prayer works. We have faith.

Not again.
Why do Christians think they can prove anything by quoting words from a book written 2000 years ago by long dead men at a time when we still believed in dragons?
That isn't going to work. Try giving actual examples from your real life where it worked. That's proof. Words from a ancient book arent.
It's like saying that the ancient egyptian heiroglyphic spells are real because they were written on the walls of tombs and are much older than Christianity.
Honestly, think a little.

I never can say that praying only is enough .For example I cant sit at home and stop working ,and then pray to god for money.God is kind but he says you have to move and try to have what I left for you on the earth.

Well I've been praying for a week straight to get me a little and my wife still ain't giving me any so I say prayer most definitely doesn't work.

You haven't shown any real evidence that prayer works. You have listed verses that tell you to pray, but not that the results will come out how you wanted. And...God did not tell you to pray to him, the men who wrote the Bible told you to pray to him.

Bible verse is not proof of anything. To say bible verse is proof of god, or of prayer working is only proof to the believer. So to state that prayer works, you need to show real proof. This means facts, those silly little things that show something is true through observation and statistical proof.

Her prayer must not be inline with God's plans. Like maybe asking for a Ferrari.

Just bear in mind, not all God's answers are what you were anticipating. And, of course, the anticipation prevents a clear view of the answer.

Would that be me? Quoting bible verses doesn't help your case. You said prayer works - prove it. Hint: all attempts at proving prayer worked under controlled circumstances failed. How are your tests different, and why haven't you published them?
