REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

The wife of one of our ministers, who has been a co-laborer with her husband in all his work, requests prayer that her failing health may be restored, so that she can continue in the work of saving souls.

Pray for a young man, an only son, who is a slave to the cigarette habit. He wishes to be free; has tried medicine, but with no avail. The nerves are shaken; the eyes dull, and portions of the body are the color of the paper used to make cigarettes.

I have an unconverted husband, and had almost given him up in despair, but my faith has been strengthened as I have read of others whose husbands have been converted through our united prayers, and I send in a request for you to pray for my husband. He is quite bitter, but pray, pray, pray. Surely it is not the will of the Lord that my husband should perish.

A wife and mother requests prayer for the healing of her husband, who she fears is being attacked by consumption. She writes: “We are Seventh-day Adventists, and have been for nearly seven years. I have read and heard of miracles that the Lord has wrought in answer to prayer, and I believe that the earnest, effectual prayer of the righteous availeth much; and I believe that in union there is strength. Now I ask that you set apart a time for prayer by all our people for the recovery of my husband’s health if it is the Lord’s will. We have two children, who need a father’s care and support.” Of course the healing must come in response to the faith of this brother; but we can unitedly pray for him and his family, that the Lord will sustain them in this trying time, and clearly make known what is his will concerning them.
