Prayer for a Sister

On January 17, 2012 my friend Deb Mathew tweeted for her friends to "please pray for my sister! She is in ICU critical condition can't keep heart rate down & in a med induced coma! TY" Please join me in this prayer, or offer one of your own.

May the One who blessed our Matriarchs and Patriarchs
Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
bless and strengthen
Deb Matthew's beloved sister.
May she be instilled with patience and fortitude,
sensitivity and understanding,
with courage and hope.

The love of sisters is a bond of enormous strength.
It is so strong that the most sincere way of one woman telling 
another woman how much one means to the other is to say,
You are like a sister to me. You are more than a friend. You are my family.

May the Lord on High give Deb and her sister more time to together.
Bless them both with long, full, peaceful, and happy lives
marked by a complete healing,
a healing of spirit, and a healing of body,
now and always.

Amen.
