Put the word "moon" in a twitter post and check your @replies later. Clever twitter trolls are clever. Also, sorry about being a prayer troll. I'll do my best to not pray for you in the future. You could have just dm'd me instead of calling me out on your blog. Uncool ;) Some twitter trolls are hilarious.

What's wrong with having strangers praying for someone? It happens ALL the time in the "church world." I see no problem with this. What's wrong with having strangers praying for someone?

In an effort to sound more holy they actually cheapin the idea of prayer. Wait, I do that a lot as well. I am guilty myself. Its like the person who says "I am praying for you" but never really does.

That turns me off completely. But if there is an established relationship there it means more. Same with twitter, it means way more if I have a relationship with someone who is asking for help or needs prayer, rather than me going out and just finding someone I do not know and telling them I am praying for them.

If you've been following someone and they've been following you, and you've had interactions before, and then they say that they're praying about something you've tweeted, then it's great. But as for "trolling", it's iffy. For me (and it may be different for someone else) making a clear "I'm praying for you!" statement seems over the top. A simple "Hope your test goes well" might be better. But as always, context matters, and it may change what the appropriate response should be... I think the biggest key here is a prior relationship.
