Prayer helps the person praying, as a kind of meditation. But it doesn't do anything or change any outcome.



Christians believe prayer is relationship with God, not a vending machine for wishes.


Correct, God isn’t a genie. It’s an incredibly shallow perspective on God at least from a Christian perspective and shows you don’t understand what prayer actually is.

Moreover, when you pray to God just to “get stuff” you are using God, not loving God.


So when you pray for a sick person, you should not expect her to get better, right?

No, and it actually annoys me when people said prayer for something like that worked.

What do you have to lose by believing and praying under such circumstances? Try.

Do you truly believe in the power of prayer for a love one in critical health care even if the person hurt you in the past? Have you witnessed a recovery and believe in the miracle of Our Lady of XX?
