I know that prayer works.  It is unbelievable. 

That claim certainly is "unbelievable" but, at least you took a shot at one of those "studies show" attempts at evidence.  Bravo.  Unfortunately, any "study" that has xtians performing magical intercessory acts of "prayer" is neither "secular" nor, unbiased/weighted.

I really like the "secular" studies where doctors and other medical personnel who aren't necessarily believers came to the conclusion that folks who are prayed for have much better outcomes than one's who don't.  

Although the claimant is unlikely to answer these simple questions, which specific "'secular' studies where doctors and other medical personnel who aren't necessarily believers came to the conclusion that folks who are prayed for have much better outcomes than one's who don't" are you referring to?  You have reference citations or, mere hearsay?

“You can not convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it is based on a deep-seated need to believe.”
