Does prayer work?

Wow, that's a heck of a question. I am a really strong proponent of God helps those that help themselves. Personally, I always feel like I've got my stuff covered so I don't want to bother God with it. Is that strange? It always makes my wife laugh. I pray for others, and I'll ask God to look out for my loved ones all the time but never for myself. I'd like to think it works but sometimes I have my doubts.

Really good thread, as long as we all behave like adults. This is another example of why this forum is more than just a bunch of Redskins fans.
