REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“Will the sisters earnestly pray for a young lady who is not expected to live, that she may accept Christ as her Saviour?”

“My husband opposes the truth, and refuses to let my dear little boy go to church with me. I request prayer for him, that he may see the error of his ways, and be saved.”

“Will you please pray that my husband may return to his family? I do not know where he is; I have not heard a word from him since he left. Please make this a subject of prayer immediately.”

“I request prayer for a dear woman who is very sick; we believe it to be cancer of the stomach. She has five children, the oldest only sixteen, is a devoted Christian, and requests prayers in her own behalf.”

“I am all alone in my efforts to keep the Sabbath, for my husband has given it up, and has yielded to his appetite for tobacco. I ask you to earnestly pray that he may return to the Lord, that my children may receive the truth, and that I may be faithful.”

“I request prayer for my son’s wife, whom we fear has consumption, that she may give herself to the Lord, and that He may restore her. Pray also for my husband, and for my son and his two children, that they may see their need of a Saviour. I have prayed for them for a long time, but they do not come to Christ. I fear I do not ask aright, or am not earnest enough.”

A sister requests prayer for her husband, from whom she is separated. Pray that he may be converted, and the family be reunited. She also requests prayer for a daughter, who seemingly has become unmindful and negligent concerning her mother. Circumstances placed this daughter in a wealthy family when quite young, where she has had a beautiful home; and now she does not care to correspond or associate with her own mother, who is in less fortunate circumstances in life. The mother requests prayer that her heart may be touched, and that the truth may reach her.
