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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
