REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“BOTH my parents, two sisters, my father-in-law, and one sister-in-law, are not in the truth, and I ask an interest in the noontide hour of prayer for them.”

“I ask you to remember my father in prayer. He makes no profession, but he says the seventh day is the Sabbath, and always has been. I also ask prayer for my sister, whom I long to see come into the truth.”

A young woman in poor health, who is making an effort to get an education that her usefulness in the Lord’s work may be increased, requests prayer that she may persevere in spite of the many hindrances she has to meet.

“I request prayer for my husband, who is eighty-two years old, and is not a Christian. He has a great many doubts, and I long to see him free in Christ. Pray also for our two daughters and our son, and their families.”

Remember in prayer a sister whose husband drinks, uses tobacco, and manifests no interest in spiritual things. He ordered the REVIEW AND HERALD stopped which was coming to his wife; and she writes that she has not seen but one paper since July. Pray that his heart may be touched, and that this sister may have strength to stand true to principle, and may win her husband to the Lord.

“Will the dear sisters kindly remember to pray with me that my husband and three sons may put away the pleasures of this world, and accept the glorious truth? Please pray that my husband may be led to live the truth before his boys, who kept the Sabbath when they were young, but, through the influence of their father, have been led to give it up. I am very anxious about my boys. They have never fallen into bad habits, and I did the best I knew by them when they were young.”
