 Immeasurable?
I don't see how someone could measure the effectiveness of prayer. Faith doesn't strike me as something that non-believers could measure because they don't choose to see its potential. Believers simply know it works because they choose to see evidence of it working everyday. Books exist written by individuals who attribute self- healing from cancer and other diseases to the power of their faith. Other factors such as healthy diets influence their mindset and play a key role in their overall evolution. You can choose to believe in the power of prayer or not. Deciding you will believe in the whims of Higher Forces when death is at your doorstep isn't the same as having faith in the unknown when threats do not overshadow you. Individuals may wish to comment on why it often take a crisis for people to turn to faith and pray for mercy or better circumstances (i.e. after environmental disaster).
