Proof praying works

Ok, so I don't actually believe that prayer works anymore, but I was bored so I came up with my criteria for what would allow me to believe that it does in fact work.

Go to all places of worship and religious orphanages in an area that have a leaky roof (all places need a roof change eventually).
Now, don't fix this leaky roof. Monitor the area with 24 hour surveillance.

People need to now pray for the roof to get fixed by itself.

If monitored properly and a roof magically ceases to drip, I will consider changing my mind, although there could still be other causes for the stop, I will not be too much of a pedantic jerk here lol .

I am curious to know what you guys think would count as significant proof that prayer does have some power.
