I don't need someone to "receive" my prayer. I'm a little confused by what you mean there?
Maybe I shouldn't write about it in this forum, you could be right... but I assure you that I don't need you or anyone else to think of me as some spiritual guru. I do pray for people on this forum and will continue to.

It's not the declaration of prayer itself, it's how it sounded coupled with reference to Jesus feeling pity for the crowds, and you saying you were sad and pity for Steel. Maybe you are, but probably best not to say it, when Steel did not seem to need or want your sympathy. Whatever we pray for anyone, they have to receive it if it is to be answered. The bible says believe and receive.
