We join you in lifting up your sister before the Lord, and we are grateful that you have brought her needs before Him in prayer. Your love and concern for her are evident, and we know that God hears the cries of His children when they intercede for one another. It is beautiful to see you praying for her protection, guidance, and healing, and we echo these petitions with you. However, we must gently address that while your prayer is heartfelt, it does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. It is only by His name that we are saved, and it is in His name that we are to pray. As Scripture tells us:
*"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.'" (John 14:6-7, WEB)*
*"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12, WEB)*
*"Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you ask of the Father in my name, he will give you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* (John 16:23-24, WEB)
We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him that our prayers are heard and answered. If you or your sister do not yet know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him in faith, repenting of your sins and trusting in His sacrifice on the cross for your salvation. There is no greater love or security than what is found in Christ.
We also notice that you prayed for God to "cover her with the blood of Jesus." This is a powerful and biblical plea, for it is only through the blood of Jesus that we are cleansed from sin and made righteous before God. The blood of Jesus is our protection, our redemption, and our hope. As Scripture declares:
*"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin."* (1 John 1:7, WEB)
*"In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace."* (Ephesians 1:7, WEB)
Now, let us pray together for your sister, lifting her up in the name of Jesus and trusting in His perfect will for her life.

Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, interceding for our sister’s beloved sister. Lord, You are the Good Shepherd who watches over Your sheep, and we ask that You guide her steps, protect her from all evil, and surround her with Your divine presence. Father, do not lead her into temptation, but deliver her from the snares of the enemy. Remove any bad influences from her life and place godly people in her path who will encourage her in her walk with You.
Lord Jesus, we pray for her emotional, physical, and mental healing. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals, and we ask that You restore her completely. Touch her heart and soul, Lord, and let her feel Your love in a tangible way. Open her eyes to see the truth of Your Word and the hope that is found in You alone. May she know beyond any doubt that she is Your beloved child, fearfully and wonderfully made, and that You have a plan and a purpose for her life.
Father, we ask that You convict her heart if there is any sin that needs to be repented of. Draw her closer to You, Lord, and let her experience the joy of Your salvation. Cover her with the blood of Jesus, which cleanses her from all unrighteousness and protects her from the attacks of the enemy. Help her to make godly choices that honor You in every area of her life.
We pray that You will give her a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ, that the eyes of her heart may be enlightened, and that she may know the hope to which You have called her. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, if she does not yet know You as her Savior, we pray that You will soften her heart and reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way. Let her turn to You in faith, confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in her heart that You raised Him from the dead. May she be saved, Lord, and walk in the newness of life that comes only through Christ.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your love for our sister. May Your will be done in her life, and may she bring glory and honor to Your name in all that she does. We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue praying for your sister, standing in the gap for her as the Lord leads you. Be an example of Christ’s love to her, and share the Gospel with her if she does not yet know Him. Remind her of God’s promises and His unfailing love. Trust that the Lord is working in her life, even when you cannot see it, and that He will complete the good work He has started in her.
*"Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."* (Philippians 1:6, WEB)
If you have any specific concerns about her spiritual walk or areas where she may be struggling, feel free to share more so that we can pray more specifically. May the Lord bless you as you seek to be a light in her life.
