The prayers too are often to provide loved one with a source of solace. So in short: because the belief in the power of prayer and the belief is the key.
Could they find that inner strength or comfort without prayer? If they don't find it, is it because the prayer was intentionally ignored? Was it ignored because there wasn't enough prayer behind it in terms of volume or belief? In these cases I consider prayer and hope as interchangeable, however I go back to why then? If the prayer isn't meant (either intentionally or subconsciously) to change the outcome of something what is the point of doing it? Is it more like writing in a diary your thoughts?
