It depends...on what you pray for.
What kind of prayers would yield results ?
I often pray for a hard life, full of obstacles, fear, grief and pain.
It's like a hotline to Jesus.
So it worked ?
Yeah, occasionally the big guy forgets and things run smoothly but I give him a nudge and everything turns to shit again.

You gotta do a dance with it...
OK...I'm playing...
I've prayed for proof that the praying was doing something, that I'd find money on the ground that same day, and on that same day I did find money on the ground...I think it was a twenty dollar bill.
I've prayed for other things, and sometimes they happen and sometimes not.
If I pray for something bad to happen to someone else, it usually backfires...
If I pray for something big...such as "please GOD, let me be you", it seems I have some waiting to do...
If I pray for something modest and obtainable, such as finding money so that I have some sort of proof, the prayers are answered.
But...if I exploit this, beginning to pray for proof every day that I find money, so I don't ever have to work again, I don't get it...once the proof is there its there, so then I have to figure out something wise to prayer for...
It depends on how valid the religion is. If you use some wacky insincere religion, such as the Queen Elizabeth cult's means, you might just lose some money instead.
If it's universal, it should work...on grounds that you do it because you need proof.
If it's just you on your own not relying on any formal means of prayer...I can't say what will happen...
How many times did you test the prayer for money ?
And who decides how sincere the religion is ?
