REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

A WIFE and daughter requests prayer for a husband and father, that he may be led by the Spirit into all truth.

A sister who has been an invalid for the last twenty-one years feels impressed to ask the prayers of her sisters for healing. She does not give the cause of her illness, but says that she is very nervous.

A sister asks prayer for the conversion of her two boys, and for the recovery of her sight, which is almost gone. The doctors think the only hope is an operation; but unless the Lord opens the way, this will be impossible.

“At one time my husband loved the truth, but he did not have enough faith to come out and keep the Sabbath, and gradually he has fallen into old habits. He knows that he is not living up to the light God has given him, but it seems as if he can not overcome. I request prayer in his behalf.”

“My husband has been helpless with paralysis for over two years, and requires a great deal of my time and attention. He is very bitter against the truth, and against Seventh-day Adventists. I ask the prayers of the sisters for my husband, and for me that I may meet each duty bravely, and have the right influence.”

“I have a dear sister for whom I desire special prayer. She has been an invalid for seven years. I think she is poisoned with drugs, but she is ignorant of it. It has affected her spine and heart so that she suffers intensely at times. I wish special prayer that she may see the poisonous effects of drugs, and look to the Lord for guidance, and accept the truth.”

“I watch for the requests for prayer, and join with you all in remembering them. I believe in prayer and in the promises of God; and I, too, wish to make a request. Please pray for my unconverted husband, and for one other member of my household who is not converted, and for me, that I may be able to hold my children for the truth against the influence that surrounds them.”
