Offering comfort to someone is awkward no matter what. For most situations I say "You're in my thoughts." Usually it's best to keep it simple. I've also heard "All the best," "Go in peace," or "I'm sorry for your trouble." As far as it not being enough, all an offer to pray for someone really is, in terms of actions taken, is an offer to think about them. So why should "You're in my thoughts" not be enough?
Now... if someone could explain why I feel compelled to say "bless you" when someone sneezes?
LOL
