Simple framework for analysis: Do you believe in God? If yes, then you would also believe that prayer and faith leads to God's intervention. Since:

(a) prayer is a form of thought;
(b) faith is a form of belief; and
(c) God's intervention changes physical reality,

it follows logically that your thoughts and beliefs can change physical reality. There you have - IM.

If you don't believe in God, then a good starting point would probably be quantum physics (David Bohm or Albert Einstein as the obvious starting points) or psychology (Carl Jung as the obvious starting point).

Frans, do you believe in God? Depending on your answer (yes or no), I can probably offer you a few starting points for further thought.
