The internet was doing a mass prayer for Dolly Parton today, after her second-youngest sister, Freida, asked that we pray for the national treasure.
Freida wrote, “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”
Obviously, that social media post worried almost everyone because Miss Dolly has been cancelling events outside of Nashville, including her upcoming Las Vegas residency, due to undisclosed health challenges, which require some procedures.
Well, after ten hours, and I am sure a lot of angry phone calls, Freida posted an update: “I want to clear something up. I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”
Therefore, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Even though it is not serious, we should always pray for Dolly because the world is a better place with her in it.
And I hope that Freida is more careful about what she posts in the future because it is not nice to scare people. Well, it is good to scare others, but not over something like this.
