Personally I've come through some extremly tough times, and certain instances in my life the Lord (and his angels) have had my back, period.
I know this to be true, can I proove it to you or a non <><, no , of course I can't.
cos what ever explanation/scenario I give can probably be explained away, (as Z-man said to 99%), but the 1% is the faith, and thats the kicker.

Im not sure that this the intellectually honest or rigorous repsonse that IROC was seeking.
There is a good little presentation of the Amputee website dealing with "yes, no, wait" proposition of prayer to God- or a milk jug.
Your beliefs that prayer works, as you state, depend on faith. And faith, as we know, is the ability to beileve something for which there is no material support.
