I've said it before and I'll say it again. Prayer accomplishes nothing! If there is a God who wants the victims to be happy, he'll help them out whether you ask him to or not. But seeing as how this "God" character doesn't seem to be using his magical superpowers to resurrect their dead loved ones or miraculously rebuild their houses, how about getting off your knees and doing something yourself? If you really want to help these people out, send some money or write them a consoling letter. But please don't talk to your invisible friend thinking that's going to help them out somehow. Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.
