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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
