The experience of millions of Christians down through the ages is that, yes, God can indeed answer any type of prayer, including petitions. Because of the probability of this happening as mere chance, there are those who reject it but too many situations defy the natural laws to be dismissed as simple coincidence.

The intention was to evaluate whether (1) receiving intercessory prayer or (2) being certain of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with uncomplicated recovery after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The outcome proved that intercessory prayers had no effect on the outcome of surgery.
Intercessory prayer is one form of petition prayer, and perhaps the most important. If God does not respond to intercessary prayer, it can be assumed with confidence that he does not respond to any prayers of petition. It is illuminating that the Church advises that petitioners must always be willing to accept God's will, whether he directly answers the prayer or not.

What is prayer of petition sometimes called?
Prayer of petition is known as supplication: seek, beseech, plead, invoke, entreat, cry out, even "struggle in prayer." (Cf. Romans 15:30; Col 4:12) In the prayer of petition, we express our awareness of our relationship with God. We are creatures who are not our own beginning, not the masters of adversity, not our own last end. We are sinners who as Christians know that we have turned away from our Father. Our petition is already a turning back to Him. from The Catechism, paragraph 2629.

Why do we learn the Lord's prayer?
AnswerThe model prayer for Christians is not praise, thanksgiving, meditation, or contemplation, but petition. It is asking God for something. This prayer of petition seeks two objects. First, one who prays in this way implores God to act so as to achieve His purpose in this world. Second, one who prays in this manner requests God to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the disciples. It is significant that the petitions come in the order they do: first, God's vindication; then, the disciples satisfaction. Such a prayer of petition assumes a certain view of God. A God to whom one prays in this way is assumed to be in control; He is able to answer. He is also assumed to be good; He wants to answer. The Father to whom Jesus taught His disciples to pray is One who is both in control and good.
