du er i mine bønner

Explanation:
Your alternative is a bit too literal, and not something a native Norwegian would say. Also, 'dig' is either Danish, Swedish or archaic Norwegian - we use 'deg'.

i keep you in my prayers. Jeg tar deg med i mine bønner

Explanation:
Her er det flere muligheter, kanskje man også kan si "Jeg ber for deg".
Forøvrig er "dig" dansk, ikke norsk.

i keep you in my prayers. Jeg vil fortsette å be for deg

Explanation:
De foreslåtte oversettelsene er alle helt OK, men jeg likte best Ingrid sin "Jeg ber for deg".
Dette er vel et uttrykk som vanligvis brukes som en avslutning på en samtale eller et brev, og som sies for å poengtere at man fortsatt ønsker å hjelpe eller vise medfølelse, selv om man føler man ikke strekker til.

Jeg mener det er vanligst å si "Jeg vil fortsette å be for deg" eller "Jeg skal (fortsatt) huske på deg når jeg ber".

i keep you in my prayers. Jeg ber stadig for deg

Explanation:
Evt. Jeg ber fortsatt for deg.
Mange gode forslag her. Den jeg likte dårligst er vel den som har fått flest stemmer, smak og behag? Jeg synes det høres litt kunstig ut. Kommer an på sammenhengen dette.
