Dave,
Please show me the scriptures that says one comes to faith by praying for them. I am not saying this does not or cannot happen, I just would like some references.
According to Romans 10, the gospel is to be preached to bring peopel to faith. Paul prayed for the salvation of Israel, but that is not what he claims brings them to faith:
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
