I am unqualified to judge the merits of prayer. You either believe that it helps or you don't. Free country - your choice and I'm not going to convince anyone either way. I can only share my experience.
A year and a half ago when DW unconscious and the doctors were warning me that she might not ever be able to return home, people in a number of states let me know that they and their friends were praying for her. I kept getting emails as the word spread to folks who had never met her, but who had heard and they (and their friends) were praying for Betsy. As I would hear about each group, I would tell her - even tho she was unconscious, I thought she might find comfort.
After she was firmly on the road to recovery, I wrote a thank you to the groups that I was aware off. In it I explained that I believe that often the patient finds a great deal of comfort in not only knowing that folks are praying, but also that they care enough to take the time. I certainly know that the family is comforted by knowing so many people care.
