My oldest sister is facing a turning point in her life. She is in a difficult position and is looking at major changes. For the past couple of years she has been operating mainly out of fear of change... she is so, so scared, and angry, too.

Could you please pray that Jesus will lift the fear from her life and give her wisdom and courage?
And for our family- that we can say the right, encouraging words that will help her the most?

She just turned fifty.

Thanks so much!

Praying, Melinda! Fear can be so paralyzing! May God grant her the courage she needs to make the first step.

My eyes just teared up reading this request, Melinda . I am praying for your sister - God bless her - and all who love her. May she be at peace soon.

Love,

I've said a prayer for your sister. I can understand as I dealt with fear after my sister was killed. Praying for her to be led by the peace of Jesus and also praying to the Holy Spirit for the right words for you and your family to share with her.

God bless you.

Melinda I am praying that your dear sister:

Will be granted the serenity to accept the things she cannot change;

Courage to change the things she can;

And the wisdom to know the difference.


This is so hard as fears can be so engulfing, may Our Lady be her special motherly intercessor in all her needs.
