Thoughts and prayers - definition

A phrase only used by Christians to people, generally other Christians, experiencing hardship. A statement implying action and assistance when in fact none will be forthcoming in any meaningful way. Represents vague promise to intercede with a magical being on the recipient's behalf. Used most often to end a conversation by the person saying it. Often ridiculed in social media as nonsense and hypocrisy, and misspoken as 'Thots and pears'.

I don't want to say 'you should have had your whole family vaccinated' at the funeral. I'll say 'thoughts and prayers' and then talk about the weather.
