The Noon-Hour Prayer

By Editor

“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.”

SINCE we opened this column for requests for special prayer, there have been received a large number of letters, presenting a great variety of needs. We feel that there is danger that we shall wander away from our original purpose

and that the special object of this column will be lost. We have therefore decided to publish hereafter only personal requests for healing and for deliverance from special affliction. We have received many requests for prayer for the conversion of friends. If we should enter this field, we might fill the entire paper. We feel that we can not broaden the scope of the original plan, and must therefore confine it in the manner suggested. The editors must of course always use their best judgment as to the appropriateness of the requests that shall be presented. The following come this week asking to be remembered at the throne of grace:—

130. A sister in Oregon requests prayer for healing from dropsy.

131. “Please pray for the recovery of my son, who is insane, and also for my healing,” asks a Michigan brother.

132. An afflicted sister in Missouri desires prayer for restoration to health.

133. A brother writes from Tennessee, “I ask your earnest prayers that the Lord may heal my throat.”

134. An invalid sister in California asks prayer for her healing.

135. A sister in Iowa, suffering from an affection of the nerves, requests prayer that her health may be restored.

136. A brother in the State of Iowa earnestly asks prayer that his hearing may be restored, and that he may be healed from stomach and bowel trouble.

137. A sister writing from Nebraska asks our prayers that she may be healed.

138. Another sister writes: “Please pray for the restoration of my nephew.”

139. A sister in the Canal Zone, who is trying to live out the truth in the face of bitter persecution, requests prayer in behalf of her two sons.

140. A Kansas sister desires prayer for the healing of her brother in Michigan.
