My own take - praying for others is as much for YOU as for the others. It is a way of directing your energy towards others, and focusing less on yourself. It's a way of opening up to what God's will is - of course the ultimate prayer is to be accepting of that. But from a Christian perspective, we are told specifically when 2 or 3 are gathered in His name - and I think the point is that we are to be a community. That community in and of itself is able to act - and thus prayers are fulfilled. The support of the community is a good - and it expresses itself through prayer.
