When you prayed did it ever work?

[mr.atheist]

No I prayed when I was younger not for myself or for personal gain but because my Grandma was ill and she asked me to pray for her that night.I did and off course nothing worked.I suppose when you are desperate you turn to anything and I was not old enough to understand all this.People say religion gives them hope all it does is delude people and gives the impression that such delusion is hope.
