The Noon-Hour Prayer

“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.”

Answered Prayer

A SISTER who asked us to pray that her husband, who was far from God, might attend camp-meeting, writes that he was regularly present at the evening services, and on Sabbath stopped his work, and they attended the meeting as a family.
Several weeks ago prayer was requested for the healing of a little girl whose parents were not believers in this truth. A sister who has been interesting herself in the case sends word that the child has been making an excellent recovery since October 10, the day the request was published, and is gaining in health and strength. The parents, who were formerly very prejudiced, are now interested in the truth.
“When the prayer service for the sick was published in the REVIEW about ten years ago,” writes a brother from Colorado, “one of my sisters was stricken with tuberculosis. She knew there was no earthly help for this malady, and yet feared to die. One day while talking with her, I asked if she would not like to have me send in her name as a subject for prayer. To this she readily assented. I asked the Prayer Band to plead that she might be healed if it was God’s will, and if not, that she might be given the courage to meet death fearlessly. I only wish you might have seen the change from a timid, shrinking girl, to a brave, fearless woman, in the few weeks she was spared to us. She fell asleep in the hope of a part in the first resurrection.”

Requests for Prayer

143. A mother who has prayed many years for the conversion of her four daughters, their husbands and children, asks that we join her in pleading with God for the granting of this petition.
144. Prayer is requested for the healing of a brother in Minnesota who is afflicted with cancer.
145. “Please remember my husband at the noon-hour prayer service. He is unconverted, but favorable to the truth. Also pray that if it is God’s will, I may be restored to health,” writes a sister from Mississippi.
146. A pathetic request comes from Missouri. A mother desires our united prayers that she may have courage to accept Christ as her personal Saviour. Her son, sixteen years of age, is an earnest Christian and desires to prepare himself for the ministry. His influence has led her to long for an experience in the things of God.
147. From New York a burdened sister writes asking prayer for the conversion of her daughter and family, two brothers, a sister, and an aged mother. The daughter and her little boy are in poor health, and she desires their healing if it is the Father’s will. Let us also remember this sister’s husband, who is having a hard struggle in giving up the use of tobacco.
148. A friend in New Jersey requests that prayer be offered for the conversion of her five sisters and one brother who are out of the ark of safety. Some of them have known and loved the truth, but worldly influences have drawn them away. She also asks that we pray for the healing of a sister-in-law who has been a constant sufferer for eight years.
149. An anxious mother sends this word from South Dakota: “I request the prayers of God’s people for my boy. He seems to have lost all interest in the truth. A sister also asks prayer for her son and for a lady friend.”
150. From Texas a sister sends the request that we pray for her husband, whose left eye was so seriously injured some weeks ago that the doctors fear he will lose his sight. The shock of the injury has weakened him physically. Let us pray for his complete restoration if it is God’s will.
