That said people can say prayer has placebo effect. Or people can believe it does actually help. Experimental data won't be able to determine if it's placebo or does actually help.
But if you say a prayer with action, doesn't that mean your faith is weak??
You're asking God for something and then doing it yourself, almost as if you know he's incapable of actually helping you.
