On this Easter occasion, I would like to ask very simply: Do prayers REALLY work?

Prayers always work but the results are according to God's timing and purpose. As christians we are to trust Him that He will deliver when it's the right time.Not everything we pray will be granted exactly as we wished it because only God knows our inner motives...only him knows best..... i don't think i can answer better than your first answer...he summed up everything
