A Prayer For My Sister
Anna Leigh Tucker

I firmly believe in the power of prayer. I also love my sorority sisters as if they were my own blood. These are the 25 (so far) prayers that I pray over my sisters. So many of these prayers deal with love, but isn’t that what Christ is all about. We are called first to love as Jesus loved. To forgive as Jesus forgave, and to pray as Jesus prayed. For my sisters, I love you!

1. For my sister who is always kind, I pray you never lose your generous spirit.

2. For my sister who always laughs, I pray your smile never fades.

3. For my sister who lies behind my back, I forgive you and pray for your future.

4. For my sister who cannot control her anger, I pray you one day experience the love of God. Once you experience God’s love, grace, and mercy it is truly difficult to remain angry.

5. For my sister who lives in fear, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that fear leaves you and a holy peace takes its place.

6. For my sister that I don’t always agree with, I pray for understanding, on both our parts.

7. For my sister who lacks drive, I pray God’s guidance over you. May He help you discern your path.

8. For my sister I don’t know very well, I pray for new friendship.

9. For my sister who is indecisive, I pray for discernment.

10. For my sister who seeks Christ diligently, I pray you continue to seek him all the days of your life.You are an inspiration to me.

11. For my sister who stays classy, I pray God’s grace over you.

12. For my sister who worries, again I pray for peace. I pray for God’s direction for your life. I pray that you will be at peace with who you are, and I pray God’s love over you. For you are loved.

13. For my sister who doubts herself, I pray for confidence. You can do it!

14. For my sister who keeps on giving, thank you for everything. I pray for emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical support.

15. For my sister who encourages me, I pray God’s blessings over you.

16. For my sister who works hard and never plays, I pray for laughter, spontaneity and fun. I pray that wherever your life leads you that you do not forget about your friends. I pray you don’t wake up lonely.

17. For my sister who is never angry, I pray for a patient spirit like yours.

18. For my sister who does not believe, I pray you one day will.

19. For my sister who cries herself to sleep at night, I pray for God’s love. Oh how he loves you, no matter what you have ever done, he will always love you. I pray you will lean on your friends for support. I pray.

20. For my sister who curses my name, I forgive you and pray that your heart finds healing.

21. For my sister who never ceases to make me laugh, I pray you never lose that sense of humor.

22. For my sister who has a past, don’t worry, we all do. So I pray you see God’s love and that you always lean on him.

23. For my sister struggling with uncertainty, I pray for comfort in the Lords timing.

24. For my sister who feels unwanted and worthless. You are like a precious stone in the eyes of God. You are always wanted and never worthless. I pray you experience God’s unfailing, perfect love.

25. For my sister in need of healing, whether it be emotional, spiritual or physical, I pray for healing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
