Do you think people against gun control would advocate thoughts and prayers after a mass shooting if they knew those prayers would lead to more gun control? Of course not. They are tacitly acknowledging that prayer really doesn’t do anything, or at least nothing that they don’t want to happen.

If the church were truly praying in faith for you to get a job, they’d have no problem specifying that if it didn’t work within a year, the church would give you a 20-hour-per-week job. If they wouldn’t do this, why not? If they were truly praying in faith, the fail-safe wouldn’t phase them because they would know it would never have to be used.
