I believe it can happen, but the circumstances would have to be very outstanding. I don't think prayer or fath will have much to do with it. I believe prayer is more or less a meditation with religious trappings. Which sounds kind of dismissive. I'm actually all for it, but praying for something you want will likely not get you anywhere.
Throughout a person's development, if they believe in God, a person will likely ask for things in prayer. There are truly dire circumstances when they are answered and truly selfish examples where the attendee is ignored or punished. But mostly, the world as outlined in the bible will function more or less on it's own. Which it pretty much does.
It's the old, "I complained I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet."
