Warm greetings to you my sister in Christ, I'll be praying and waiting on a word from you

Warm greetings sounds much more natural then 'I greet you'

very good point Clinton. waiting on a word from - the LORD - is more commonly used and would be better to be reserved to HIM only. May we all learn how to wait!
agree Clinton Muoto : I will prefer using 'waiting for a word from you" as against the often used "waiting on a word from the Lord".

I greet you, my sister in Christ. I'll pray for you and wait for a word from you
