Sure does!
My Church (Catholic) prayed for a liitle girl, Sophie who was hit by a car twice in two years (she lost her arms and legs the first time) The second accident we thought that she would not live and so we prayed. Two weeks later Sophie is out of hospital. So the power of prayer does work
Sophie was only 4 the first time
Have you got together and prayed for someone and your prayers answered?
Sophie is Australias little angel!

How cruel! God did not tell the drivers to hit her, she was not even in a car!

I'm a Christian but I don't go to church anymore but I have often wondered why many prayers don't get answered, & many DO get answered
I suppose God has his reasons
some he wants with him & some he wants on earth
Dear little Sophie was at preschool when a car ran into the preschool wasn't she & then later she was crossing a road with her Mum or dad & she was in a pram & an old man hit her
anyway God did answer all the prayers of the Australians who prayed for her because she did survive & it looked like she wouldn't so Praise God
so keep your faith & don't listen to the mean ones

According to a recent study, prayer is not the least bit effective.
I wonder about your story. You say the girl lost her arms and legs the first time. How was she out in the street to get hit by a car the second time? Do you have a link to this story? Surly it made the newspapers.

A four year old amputee. Good job, GOD!
Your prayers were late. Don't bother to thank the doctors. I wonder if the doctors had prayed too instead of operate if she would have lived....

If prayer really worked, people would go straight to church to "pray" themselves or others well, they wouldn't be rushing them to the hospital. It's amazing how many more "miracles" occur the more advanced medicine gets, isn't it?

I prefer a wishing well. Same rate of success, takes less time, and will only cost you a dime. So your prayers about this one girl worked? What about the tens of thousands of others that haven't worked? With that kind of success rate you'd be better off with the wishing well idea.

LOL, please. SO god let this little girl get hit TWICE before she was four? But then prayer mader her all better? Wow.
Imagine that I, a doctor, am sitting in a rocking chair next to an exposed wire and watch a 6 year old kid walk up to the wire and just sit and watch as the kid sticks it in his mouth and half of his face melts. Then the parents run up to their child and try to make him comfortable. Then they look over to me, ask me to help, and I continue to rock in my chair. They get 200 friends to implore me to help, so I stand up from my chair. I operate on the kid and he is all better. Am I a benevolent being? or a megalomaniac?

I believe that it does whenever I pray I will always have weird coincidences, that now I think aren't just coincidences.

No. People all over the world prayed for my mother who was a devout Christian all of her life. She died a painful death from cancer.
