If God answers my prayers with my relatively small problems but ignores the plight of starving children, then It may need to work on Its priority setting and time management skills.
Seriously, I think when prayer "works", it has more to do with the individual subconsciously making decisions as a result. For example, if you pray to get a job, and that gives you confidence during your job interviews and leads you to make decisions that lands you a desired job, it might "work" but not because of divine intervention. It's a placebo.
