Seems to me you have no comprehension of what you read and because of your spiteful post you have no compassion when a person's mother is dying. May God have mercy on your soul.

I think his act of praying must really be for his own comfort. Talking it over with the big guy probably helps him to feel better about it. Perhaps the value of telling someone you're praying for them comes from them hearing that they are that important to you.
Exactly why shouldn't Christians tell others they are praying for them, oh yeah you do not know or understand the love of God and His people for their fellow man, to bad you are missing out on something so great. And it is obvious you and what's her name have no compassion for other, living or dying.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
