Some people think that those offering thoughts and prayers are doing it because they make themselves feel better by "doing something" without actually doing anything.

To each their own.

I've never quite understood praying for something to change and then saying it's part of "god's plan" if things don't change.  Then praying has no effect if "god's plan" is going forward with or without prayers.

That's just me.  

If someone feels better by praying than so be it.  I used to too.  

I'm pretty sure god changes his plans if there are a lot of prayers in favor of a new direction. It is kind of like a poll god takes.

But not all prayers are about change. Some pray that the victims go to heaven, not for gun laws to change.
