"Orthodox monks (and some nuns) separate themselves from the world in order to pray unceasingly for the world."
While I don't necessarily believe in prayer, I do believe in thinking positive thoughts, sending positive vibes, and crossing fingers for good luck. Even if those gestures don't actually DO anything, the recipients probably feel the support, and therefore they themselves might have a more positive outlook.
I also believe that if you know you are being prayed for, you might actually believe that the hand of God could intervene in your life, and therefore it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.
I saw a sign like this on my way to work every day, and each time I'd think to myself, "Like that'll really help."
