 I think the biggest compliments I’ve ever perceived are when people say they will pray for me, because it means they will take a moment out of their time to mention me to God out of pure goodwill and kindness.

 Usually its meant to condescend and to get you to stop talking to them about your problems

 Not always, and when it is, it’s obvious. I’ve never had that happen, personally.

 I can’t say it never happens, but I generally know the people well enough that I mention it to, that they know my heart on the issue.

 And as part of that goal, we exhort people to ask for prayers whenever they are going through decisions that need not only their own actions, but help beyond their own limitations.

We are reminded to place ourselves as in need of help more often than we care to admit or are led to think by those propagandists claiming you shall do it all by yourself.
