"We were down in Huntsville, Alabama. We finished praying," Mr Twyman said. "Immediately the owners came out and changed the gas prices. They brought it down. We had marvellous success down in St Louis, Missouri."

Well this changes everything. Here I thought there was no evidence for prayer being effective, but this is so utterly convincing! Who needs scientific prayer studies? This anecdotal evidence should be more than enough to convince the unfaithful of the power of prayer.
