REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“I ASK an interest in your prayers for my dear father, who is getting well along in years, and has heard the truth and believes it, but does not obey. I have been praying for him, but God has not yet answered my prayers.”
A dear aged sister in California requests prayer for her son, who had grown careless, but a short time ago manifested sufficient interest to go to our church again. Let us pray that this may prove the beginning of better times.
“I earnestly ask you to pray for my husband and children, that they may turn to the Lord and be converted. My son and daughter are afflicted with lung trouble, and I fear that they may be taken from this world without being reconciled to the Lord.”
“Having for several years been afflicted with poor health, and failing to get permanent relief from the different sources to which I have applied, I earnestly request that my case be made a subject of prayer by the people of God. I know there is power in prayer, and believe that I can be freed from this bondage of disease.”
“Will you please allow me to ask your prayers for my four children,—three boys and a married daughter, who are none of them in the truth. All but the youngest have left home. I fear he is in bad company. None of my boys will listen to the truth. I am a widow, and my heart is burdened for the salvation of my dear children. I desire that we shall all be ready for the coming of the Lord.”
A sister requests prayer for a man and his wife in whom she is deeply interested. They have been active in Christian work, and are now investigating the truth. The woman is in poor health, and would be glad to go to our institution for treatment if the way opens. Pray that this sister may have wisdom in working for them, and that they may become fully established in the Third Angel’s Message.
“I request prayer for a young Catholic man who called at my house some time ago, as an agent. We had a good talk concerning the truth. He was strong in his belief, and thought of becoming a monk, so he could live nearer to the Lord. He seemed interested, and was inclined to listen to what I said to him. Pray that the Spirit of the Lord may follow him, and deliver him from the darkness of Catholicism.”
A sister who lives twenty miles from others of like faith writes: “I ask prayer for my husband, who seemingly has no interest in his soul’s salvation. Pray also for my mother-in-law, who lives with us. She is much opposed to the truth, and will not hear me say anything about it. At present my youngest brother is with me. He is in the truth. Pray that we may keep every Sabbath holy unto the Lord, and plant the truth at home, and all around us.”
