The power of prayer

I have been hearing the news of the nurse afflicted with ebola as a result of her self sacrificial love, and wondering what will be the effect of my simple prayer for her recovery.  I know that at the twinkling of the eye He CAN restore her to perfect health - but why should He?  Sometimes, when He cured people, He told them NOT to spread the word around - but the only purpose of curing them was, surely, to show that He had the power?  But He doesn't need to show me - I know already; is it to show the wider world?  Is it a case of the more the merrier?  I often reflect on the war, the way the King on half a dozen occasions called the Nation to prayer, and every occasion was followed by what I call a miracle but which some might call an unnatural happening. Was it because so many people joined together?  Probably not - God has said that, if you don't do it for Love it is worthless, so the numbers don't matter, it's the motive that does.  All over the World people, out of love, are praying for her - Thy Will be done.
