What would happen if we get down on our knees and pray to God in this way:
Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the universe, we pray to you to cure every case of cancer on this planet tonight. We pray in faith, knowing you will bless us as you describe in Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
We pray sincerely, knowing that when God answers this completely heartfelt, unselfish, non-materialistic prayer, it will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways.
Will anything happen? No. Of course not.

Very interesting proposition. If the person who formed this query really believes in God, then the question is already answered for him. If he does not believe in God, then he would only be saying words, not praying to God, and should not expect an answer.

Never mind that God’s answer to prayer is often, “No” or “Not yet.”

I guess I could formulate my own such query, and “pray” to God that he allow 99% of humanity to take another breath. If God does so, does that prove his existence to this person??

The prayer seems suspiciously like this found in Matthew 4:

"If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."

In other words, "If you are really God, you will do this, this, and this by such and such a time in such and such a way. And if you don't do as I bid, then you really don't exist." This is also similar to a little kid telling his parent that if his father really loves him, he'll buy him what he wants when he wants it and then holding the father's character to blame for not indulging the child.
