As strong as your faith in Christ.
The effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man avails much!
I read the New York times report. It failed to mention how many were believers. That has a lot to do with how prayer will affect a person. The word says that God hears the cries of his people. Would you ask a stranger a favor and expect results?
And by the way, the bible is the biggest study of prayer. Not a newspaper article, or a Dr.s research.

Vicarious said it best. Intent is the key to how strong a prayer is. Intent invloves complete focus and visualization of your desired outcome. The better you are able to do this the more likely that your prayer will be answered favorably to you.

It is powerful- your prayers will not always be answered- and if they are it may not be in the time frame you wish. Things happen in God's time, not ours. I have personally felt the comfort I needed in hard times as a result of prayer. It is just talking to God-does not have to be a structered thing. Try it-what do you have to lose?

It depends.
Does God Answer Prayers?
The answer is yes, no, and wait. If God answered every prayer from everyone who asked, God would become our own personal genie. Basically we would just have to tell God our wish and he would grant it to us. This is not biblical to think all prayers will be answered. If God answered every prayer the world would turn in to a big mess. God knows what is best for us.
Here are some conditions that God has for our prayers:
1) We are to ask in God’s name. This means we need to ask in God’s will. God’s will is what ever glorifies God. The bible says, “I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (John 14:13,14)
2) God cannot hear us if there is sin in our hearts. If we are living a life that we are being convicted of and do not repent of our sins, God will not hear our prayers. Our prayers will only be heard when we repent to God and turn from our sins. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. (Psalm 66:18)
3) God will not answer us if we do not have faith that God will hear and answer our prayers. We need to also have faith that God knows best for our lives and will not answer the prayers that will hurt us. There is always a reason for answered and unanswered prayers. We will not always understand this but God does. Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
4) We need to ask in God’s will. If we ask in prayer for the wrong motives our prayer will not be answered. When you ask, you do not receive; because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. (James 4:3)
5) Sometimes we need to wait and know God will answer when the time is right. When we ask God in prayer, our prayers will not always be instant. Now days everyone wants things instant. This is not how God works. The Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. (Luke 18:6-8)

Prayer can stop Satan in his track, heal the sick, stop a storm, make witches mad, change world events. prayer is good and more powerful than most humans are willing to admit.

How much and how sincere you are to God when you pray. I've seen miracles happen through prayer. If we pray for something that is good and just then God will answer, maybe not in the time we wish, but it is all in the plan he has for our life. God Bless! :D

It is very strong. I failed a test once then I started going to church and My mother told them everyday to pray I would pass my nursing boards and believe it or not in between each qustion I said a minny prayer and passed. I believe all that energy and support really helped. I have been an rn for a few years now.

The Almighty God hears the prayers of his children and will answer them.
You don't get stronger than that.
