OMG that’s exactly what my Uber-religious sister-in-law (ex-husband’s sister) used to say when we were dealing with a family crisis that should have been shared among all the siblings. She would say, “I’ll contribute the prayers.” And some of the other religious siblings (NOT my atheist ex) would consider that the equivalent of the $5K that everyone else was pitching in. They thought she was so saintly that her prayers had extra power or something.
