I mean i haven't asked for your prayers and they will be wasted on me. So i guess you could say i'm on a prayer-saving mission on your behalf.
Btw, if you do want to help, send money LOL

Money is the root of all evil. Most Christians will only offer to pray for you if you are already acquainted with them and you have told them about a particular problem in your life. If strangers are offering to pray for you without knowing you, your name, or your problem (if any) they are being foolish and over zealous. Christians all over the world are praying for the missing child; but that is an exception because it is an exceptional situation. I live in the same house as a lady Pastor and people phone her all the time describing their problem and asking to be prayed for (over the phone). The Pastor gives her time freely and the only cost to the person requesting the prayer is the cost of the phone call.

Each of us need someone to pray for us. I myself need people praying for me at all times. Because of the calling that is on my life. I can not afford to be caught off guard by the attack of the enemy. People will act like they are for you and will have your back at all times, but I have come to realize that some people hate you more than you think. They can pray against you for evil deeds to happen. On the other hand, when you have some prayer warriors that are in you corner you will know that you can do anything.

I used to think that, until I noticed that God was/is answering the prayers and changing me into a better person. People want to help. Money is temporary, but your soul will last forever. That's the part of you that we want to help the most. All of us need prayer. Peace.

It is funny, especially when you considder that they are not really going to pray for you, and that those words are usually said as a way to demean some one.
"I'll Pray for you"
Translation
"you need prayer because you are sinful"
In reality many Christians use the 'I'll Pray for you" statement as a way to belittle people, which really highlights the nature of the God they worship, and kills the "loving people" myth.

Because we care about other people and we pray that they too may come to know an love Jesus Christ as we do. I never feel that I have wasted my time praying for any one, since it is a beautiful thing to pray for others. Even if you don't want my prayers it doesn't matter to me, I have already prayed for you as well as others since that is what is in my heart.
I don't wish to attempt to force you to feel or believe any thing that you don't want to believe for you self, that is a choice that only you can make for your self. We all are given free will to believe what we want to believe, and if you don't believe then that is your choice for you.
I have chosen to believe in Jesus Christ and that is what I want for my self, as that is my right to do for me. I will continue to pray for others as that is what I wish to do.
God bless.

We say we'll pray for you, whether you want us to or not, because we lift your name up to Him and pray that He finds a way to touch you so you can enjoy the peace that we do. We pray for your soul, salvation and safety. We pray that sooner than later you'll understand what it's all about. Whether you believe in Him or not, one day you will stand before Him and will have to answer to Him for the way you lived your life.

They are trying to provoke you into doing something you'll regret, so they can say, "You really are a nasty person!"
It's an Eric Berne game called "Now I've Got You, You Son-of-a- ".
When someone "throws you a dirty-greasy ball" for you to enter one of their nasty little games, "drop the ball".
In oher words, Avoid Avoid Avoid.

How terrible that someone might take their best wishes for you before their deity. What an awful fate; hopefully you are spared this calamity. :)

Sometimes (sadly) they use it as an insult, but just take it as a compliment, smile and nod and then walk away. There's no point in protesting.
