I'm sure we have all been through an instance wherein something bad happens to someone we care about and everything we want to say sounds trite and cliche. (I think prayer is trite and cliche, but somehow it has become society's acceptable version of 'I have nothing to say.') Therefore, assuming that the prayer is due to genuine care (not the condescending nature of 'I'll pray for your flaming soul in the pits of hell, you heathen') I generally just thank people for their thoughts.
However, for those who know me a little better, I usually ask if they will sacrifice a chicken for me as well. After all, I see those as being equally productive.
This post really needs more kudos.

Biiiiiiiiig surprise there, Claude. Your experience is useless in this discussion, because you cannot verify it.
