Two passages in Acts of the Apostles undermine the premise that God grants prayer.
One passage involves Peter’s shadow.
Acts 5:15 = "People brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed."
This passage would not be in Acts unless it intends to say that Peter’s shadow healed disease.
But why don’t these sick people pray directly to God for a cure?
Presumably they did, but prayers went unanswered. A shadow can cure but not prayer.
Another passage is about handkerchiefs and aprons that touched Paul.
Acts 19:12 = "Handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them."
Objects that touch a holy man take on divine power. Does a handkerchief retain healing powers for a week, a month, or forever?
The writer of these passages seems to imply that prayer accomplishes nothing. Instead, objects touched by a holy man can transmit healing power to a person who also touches that object.
