I know you didn't mean it in this way, but I can't tell you how pissed I get at FB memes saying "send prayers to (Houston/Florida/The Virgin Islands/Puerto Rico/etc)...

PRAYERS DON'T HELP. They only make the people giving them feel like they have done something when they have done nothing. Asking people to pray discourages them from sending real help, be it a donation of money or time.
