Well, if that's so, why don't you offer your services to the nearest hospital? Start as voluntary "work"... and see how it goes.
This prayer superpower as described is so astonishingly unreliable, though. There's no way for the petitioner to know whether their prayer is going to work, or whether that's the time their god is going to give the thumbs down. As a tool, it's so unreliable as to be totally useless. Imagine a piece of life-saving equipment which might occasionally work, but most of the time just comes up tilt. Or even works fifty percent of the time, indistinguihable from chance. There's not a hospital on the planet - hopefully - that would allow it within a hundred miles.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
