Only prayer, a submitted heart, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit can work those kinds of miracles.

The most important thing we can pray about for others is that they will know God better and that He will help them understand His will, grow in spiritual wisdom, and live lives that honor Him. We can pray that they will become more like Him and bear the fruit of His Spirit.
