#57. People who say they'll "pray about it" but mean no

Me: Can you help me move this table?
Friend: Let me pray about it.
Me: What? Why?

Some people hate confrontation so they won't say "no" to anything you ask, but instead will say, "let me pray about it." By the time their prayer time is over, you already moved the table out of harm's way.

Of course, there are many legitimate times when we need to pray about something. The Bible does tell us that we need to be in constant prayer, but don't use that as an excuse to not do anything.

Go ahead and pray, but please help me move that table!
