What people say when they want to feel like they're helping but they don't want to actually get off their butts and help.
Person 1: "My mom is in the hospital in critical condition."
Person 2: "I'm sending my thoughts and prayers."

Everyone says, but very few actually do.
It's basically a polite way of telling someone that what they're going through sucks but it's not your problem
Now, if you ACTUALLY keep the person in your thoughts and prayers, AND make at least some effort to help them, then you're using this phrase with meaning. But most people use this phrase to politely say they don't give a damn about what you're going through.

The Correct Usage:
Jake: My Mom died.
Dan: Thoughts and Prayers for you guys
Jake: Dude is that really all you can give me?
Dan: No, I actually mean it, we can talk about it whenever you want and I'm always here for you. I had something similar happen a while ago.
Wrong Usage
Jake: My Mom Died
Dan: Thoughts and Prayers
Jake: Is that all you've got to help?
Dan: Yeah, I'm going through some tough crap too, my Instagram account got locked

Typical phrase conveying artificial care and concern for people adversely affected by any number of situations in life; a phrase used in fake concern by people knowing damn well they're not going to do anything to help
Our thoughts and prayers are with Anna, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Now that that's out of the way, did y'all see Love & Hip-Hop last night?

The appropriate statement by which a reference to a mass shooting must be concluded as written in the holy guidebook Guns & Ammo and endorsed by the great and divine church of the NRA.
This statement may be substituted for action and its utterance is believed by scientists to create new quantum realities in which that action was taken.
Failure to utter thoughts and prayers after referencing a shooting may result in sensible gun control legislation and/or improvements to American mental health care systems.
