It's not for me to judge the content of others' prayers. But I sincerly doubt that God works to humans' agenda. According to the Bible though, God is pleased when we pray. Having all of those people pray I'm confident was a good thing. From your perspective I'm sure you'd at least agree that while they were praying they weren't causing any harm on the world. So it wasn't a bad thing. (BTW, I'm not arguing that the absence of a bad thing proves anything, merely that it wasn't bad, which in many respect is a good start.)

Personally I'm not claiming voices or visions. Voices or visions may be devinely inspired or not. So just the fact of voices or visions does not presume that they are communicating any particular truth.
