Prayers for my Sister


I have one sibling, a sister, and she is my best friend. So often I think about her and marvel at the person she is. She is 2 years younger than me but she has experienced more physical pain in her young life than I ever care to experience. She suffers from degenerative joint disease and arthritis in her back. On top of that, her pelvis is out of alignment by 1 inch. She is not able to do most of the things she wants to do either because it hurts too bad or her mind isn't clear enough because of all of the pain medications she has to take to even move some. The thing that amazes me most is her faith. She often says, even though she is suffering a lot, that she knows God has a plan for her and she is experiencing this for a reason. Sometimes she shares that she wonders how long she has to wait for that plan to be revealed but she is never angry or bitter.

If you feel moved to do so, please pray for her that she would find at least minimal relief--even for a short time. Thanks!
