Pray

Verb.To express a solemn but ineffectual request of a temporary nullification of the universe’s laws, especially to an imaginary being of infinite power.



Praying
A word used when Christian people on Facebook want to virtue signal to other Christian people on Facebook and is usually employed during a health, marriage or financial crisis. People don't actually engage in the activity the word implies. Sometimes used as a technique to spread online gossip disguised as a prayer request. It's the Christian version of wishing someone good luck.
Example:
Poster 1:. " My Uncle just lost his job and his truck was stolen! He needs a miracle. Also his wife left him.'

Poster 2: ""Praying!"

Poster 1: "My sister's friend found out her husband is dressing in her clothes. Let's give the devil a black eye by praying for his salvation and deliverance from perversion. He works at the pharmacy ."

Poster 2: "Praying!"

Poster 3: "Praying"

Poster 4: "Praying"

Poster 5:. "Which pharmacy?"


pray
Something people do to pretend that their apathy is really concern. Also known as "I could care less what happens to you unless it affects me directly, but I don't want anyone to think I'm the craven, spineless self-absorbed weasel I really am." Mostly promised in lieu of actual help.
Example:
My grandmother's friend knows that I have a rare blood type and have only a 9% chance of finding a kidney for transplant, but instead of trying to help me avoid a lifetime of dialysis by asking her fellow churchgoers to get tested for crossmatch, she is afraid of "offending" someone by asking, and believes that sending me a worthless little card depicting a no-name saint and a promise to pray for me, ensuring me a much shorter lifespan, largely consisting of sleeping and sitting for 12 hours a week watching my blood go in and out of my body is just as good as asking for donors and that it will help me obtain a kidney. What a joke.
