Why is it "logically invalid"?
Because it's unfalsifiable: you prayer works? Yay, prayer works! Your prayer doesn't work? Duh, god has his reasons and he didn't want to grant your prayer!
You and a lot of other christians strive to set up situations like this, thinking that they're sure fire, no-lose scenarios for your side, but truthfully you've just broken any hope of keeping your beliefs rationally justifiable. Once again: your moving goalposts aren't anyone else's problem.
