@Hakeer :
For us, prayer is made in linear time in the present, but God is within all time and indeed beyond it, in eternity. We may not know how God acts fully, but act He does.
Through the communion of saints, a prayer made by a little girl in the 13th century might have its effect in the 21st, or vice versa.
God moves us to pray, and prayers are so much more than a petition.
