I have noticed several of you have said "I usually respond" or "I always say". Do many of you get random "I will pray for you"s from random people?
I don't say it unless someone actually says "please keep us in your prayers" or if they tell me something horrible going on in their lives. And the usual response is thank you.
Not from random people, but my MIL says it ALL the time. I don't mind it when it's due to someone in our home being sick, but I DO mind it when it's in reference to problems/issues that are 100% in our control that we are facing. She won't give us credit for anything good...it's always because she prayed for us that something good happened. Drives me bananas.
