Dolly Parton’s sister reassured fans after alarming them with a social media prayer request for the 79-year-old singer’s health.

Freida Parton took to Facebook late Tuesday night to “clear something up” about her original post earlier that same day.

“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly,” she wrote. “She’s been a little under the weather.”

Freida, 68, explained, “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,” she concluded. “Your love truly makes a difference.”

Hours earlier, Dolly’s younger sibling wrote that she had been “up all night [on Monday] praying” for the Grammy winner.
