Sisters

This is an Elizabeth Elliot quote about parents. I changed the words to make it reflect sisters, because the same is true for them. 


"God knows the feelings of discouragement, inadequacy, and failure which conscientious sisters feel. But it was His idea to make them sisters and to give them this particular sibling. He knew they would not do a perfect job. He is Father to these sisters, and promises every kind of help they need. He stands beside them in every situation, ready to give wisdom as needed and grace to help in time of need if only they will turn to Him and ask for it. He teaches them how to love each other."  {Elisabeth Elliot}


Lord, I don't have time to pray right now. So here is my popcorn prayer: I feel discouraged, inadequate and like a failure as a sister to Sara. Please help. Change me. In Your son's name I pray, Amen
