Awe everyone here is so nice! I like that, and I agree. It is a tough time for her, confirming your care and support for her is best.

I agree with everyone who said just tell her you will. Not doing so won't make any difference at all; her thinking that you will might help her feel happir.

Do things instead, give her a ride, help in whatever way you can, just be there . . .
Actions speak louder than prayers

My response is very concise, " I hope it turns out well ".
The gist is to show empathy.

I will not lie and say I'll pray, but that's me. I tell people I'll send good thoughts their way and keep them in mind. I think they are looking for some type of comfort and help, give her a hug and tell her she is always on your mind.
Just my two cents, for what it's worth.

You've already said it....... I want to help, but I don't believe in prayer.

Ill be there for you but I don't prey

I just say I'm sending positive thoughts.

I'd just tell her you don't think praying will help, but you want to help her in any tangible way you can. Then ask what you can DO for her to help. I hope this helps.

I agree with those who say offer tangible help. If there is nothing you can do, tell her she is in your thoughts and in your heart. I don't think it helps to lie.

Typically I tell people ill tip a beer to em.

I won't pray but I'll keep you in my thoughts. If there's anything I can personally do, just ask and I'll do whatever I can, in my power.

Just say ok... you wish her well, that’s the same thing and has the same outcome, so just say ok... And then just to lighten up the mood perhaps say something like, “how about that Darwin?”

I guess I would have done the same thing, it all depends how bad off she was, if she was dying I would have given in cause if I loved her , and she on her way out and it would have made her feel better ,so what. But if she was just wineing and complaining a bout her boreing ass then I would given her the hard love and told her just what I thought, its all about being part of the solution and not part of the problem, but that's a tough one?

I don't believe in prayer, but if there's ANYTHING I can do for you, I'm here.
