As Christians, we pray for others in a selfless way, adding our prayers to your own. In no way does a Christian intend to disparage or imply that your prayers are insufficient or 'defective'. We pray for others, quite simply, because we follow the example of Jesus himself, who commanded that we love, sustain and encourage one another.
I have noticed that many times come Christians offer to pray for someone in a setting or at a time that makes the person we intend to comfort UN-comfortable; I don't think we intend to provoke such a reaction, but do so unthinkingly or clumsily. It is wrong of us to do so, but I would ask you, on your own part, to forgive us when we do this; as is the case with many things in life, our intentions are good, but our execution poor.
