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.
It's funny, God expressed the same sentiment:
I've found those who argue prayer as legitimate evidence for their god are among the most ignorant.
