Rhonda I think we have all been through that and the last time that happened
to me I too was sad for the one who wanted to pray.  I think the next time
if it were me I'd just say I understand you wanting to pray for me but I'm
all right where I'm at but thanks a lot for caring for me enough to pray I
really appreciate it.

or something like that
