If you’re searching for a prayer for my sister, we’ve got a few you can try. Sisters are often a built in best friend, and one of God’s sweetest gifts to those who get to experience them.
Just like any other relationship, there are always ups and downs, areas where you relate to one another and others where you disagree.
One of the ways that you can cultivate a healthy relationship with your sister is through prayer for her and for your friendship with her.
Family Prayer Points can also be used in your prayers.
If you’re not sure where exactly to start praying for your sister, here are a few prayers to get you going!
Prayers For My Sister :
Prayer for Your Relationship
John 13:34
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
If there is anything that Christ exemplifies for us through coming to earth and through His death on the cross, it is love.
The kind of love that is unconditional, and extends far beyond our own human comprehension.
When it comes to our relationship with our sister, that kind of love is just as important.
Whether you have a good relationship with her or not, you can always ask God to increase the love that you share for one another.
Father,
There is no love like Yours. I am so thankful that Your love is greater than my sin, and has fully embraced me.
Thank You for the example of Christ when it comes to love.
He shows us what real love looks like, and it is selfless, patient, kind and long-suffering.
Thank You for blessing me with my sister, and choosing her for me, and me for her.
We have had our fair share of experiences together, and I am thankful for her life.
I know there is nothing that can draw us closer than the love of Christ.
I ask that You would grant us that selfless, Christlike love towards one another.
Help us grow in our friendship, and be there to support, build up, and help each other.
But most of all, help us to seek the best for one another.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
Prayer for Her Protection
Psalm 32:7
“You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.”
There is no better place for man to hide than in God. Our physical fortress may fail, and we may face many harms and wrongdoings in life.
But when we find our shield and deliverance from God, we can trust His hand.
As your sister goes out into the world, and deals with daily life, she will need prayer for protection and a shield to face the battle around her.
Lord,
Thank You for my wonderful sister. I know it is not always that we get along, just like any other sibling relationship.
But it would never be my intention to wish her harm. In fact, my prayer is that You would be with her right now, protecting her and keeping her safe.
I know that there are specific battles that she is facing in life.
There is no denying that we are in a spiritual battle each day.
Please clothe her in Your armor, and prepare her for the daily battle around her.
I ask that You protect her mind from thoughts that are contrary to Your word.
Please keep her safe physically. Wherever she goes, I ask that You be with her and keep her out of harm’s way.
May she find her hiding place in You.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
Read these Psalms and Bible Verses for Protection to pray over her.
Prayer for Her to Experience Peace
Isaiah 26:3
“You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.”
When there is so much going on in life, it can be hard to feel at peace.
Even at times when you should be taking a breather, the concerns of life, the world, and the responsibilities that we have may play around in the forefront of our minds.
This may be the case for your sister, as it is usually the case for most people.
That is why it is so important to pray that God would keep her mind at peace, and that she would ultimately have her mind set on Him, and trust in Him, who is peace Himself.
Heavenly Father,
I am so grateful for the peace that You have brought into my life.
Thank You for allowing me to have peace with You through the work of Jesus on the cross.
Because of His sacrifice I not only have a relationship with You, but I also get to experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
My prayer is that You would grant my sister this same kind of peace.
You know the thoughts, fears and anxiety that plague her mind better than anyone else.
I ask that You would remind her that she can lay those down before You and find Your rest and peace, as she fixes her mind on You.
May she grow in trust in who You are, and in Your words that are true. Keep her in perfect peace, and lead her to rest.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
Prayer of Salvation for Sister
Romans 10:9-10
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Sometimes there may seem to be a lot of requirements when it comes to religion, but when it comes to a relationship with Jesus, all that is required is faith.
This faith acknowledges that we are sinners who have offended God, and are in need of a Savior.
This faith also recognizes that Christ is that Savior who died a sinless death for you and I.
Through this faith God works in our hearts which produces fruit as a result. We don’t work to be saved, we work because we are saved.
If your sister isn’t saved, there is no better love to show her than to seek her salvation.
Lord,
Thank You for sending Jesus to the world on my behalf, and the behalf of the whole world, including my sister.
Thank You for Your love that You showed us even while we were sinners who rejected You and turned our faces away from You.
It is a gift to experience Your mercy and kindness, and
I ask that You bring my sister into that gift.
I know that every person is created with a God-shaped hole in our hearts, and often we will search the world for something to fill that hole.
But nothing can truly satisfy us like You do. I ask that You open the eyes of my sister’s heart to see You as You are, and to place her faith in You.
May her life be completely changed because of the love of Christ in her.
May she become a testament to Your goodness to those around her.
Help her to see her sinfulness before You, and Christ as the spotless Lamb who took her sins upon Himself.
Save her, Lord, and bring her into Your eternal family.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
Prayer of Wisdom and Guidance
Usually when we think of wisdom we think of that which comes with years of life experience.
Though this is a part of wisdom. The bible also talks about a different kind of wisdom that comes from God.
This wisdom doesn’t require us to be a certain age, it is a wisdom that we can apply to our lives in a practical, everyday kind of manner.
All we have to do to grow in this wisdom according to scripture is to ask God to grant it to us.
James 1:5
“ If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
Lord,
Thank You for my sister, who I love so much.
There are so many things that I desire for her, and want to pray over her life, and one of them is wisdom.
I ask that You would grant her Your godly wisdom to face the challenges, situations, and decisions of her daily life.
Help her not to lean on her own understanding, but instead to seek You for wisdom and guidance.
Your word says that You give generously of Your wisdom, and I ask that You would grant her wisdom, that she may follow Your will and do what is pleasing to You and best for her.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Whether you get to see your sister often or not, you can always keep her in your prayers!
I hope that these prayers encourage you to pray for her and that you will see your relationship grow over time.
