Your problem seems to be that you're hung up on praying actually having an affect whereas what really matters is the sentiment and meaning behind it. You're arrogant enough to think (yes, arrogant) that god is somehow going to change his plans for you, that you're somehow going to make a difference. That's why people get annoyed when you say "I'll pray for you". Saying "you're in my thoughts" doesn't have any baggage attached, it means simply what it means. You praying is just a way of making yourself feel like you're doing something when you're not.
