REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“I DESIRE special prayer for my son, who is unconverted, and in poor health. Pray also for my husband, and for me, that I may know my duty and faithfully perform it.”
“I request special prayer for my husband, who has left the truth after having served the Lord faithfully for a short time. He believes the Third Angel’s Message, but discouragement in his work is the cause of his becoming indifferent. He has become very careless in everything, and thinks he can not be saved. Pray for me, that I may do right by him.”
“Please pray for my father, who is very sick. Pray that his mind may be restored, and that he may return to the Saviour again, and find peace. Pray also for an unconverted husband and son. They know the truth, but do not obey. Let earnest prayer be offered in their behalf.”
“I beg you to pray for me, that God will remove the affliction that has settled on me for the past few months, so that I may be relieved, and be a happy Christian mother as before, for the sake of my fatherless children, and my parents, who are wild over my condition. I was cured by prayer once, and my only hope now is in the mighty power of God.”
“I request the sisters of the Woman’s Gospel Work to pray for my little girl, who is very sick, that she may be restored to health and reason, if it is the Lord’s will. My only hope is in the Lord, for I fear she is past the help of man. Also please pray that my husband may join me in the truth, and that we may work together in bringing up our children for the Lord.”
“I wish the prayers of the circle for my husband and my sisters, one of whom is a member of my family. She and my husband are convinced of the truth, but do not see the necessity of obeying. Pray that they may give up the world before it is too late. I greatly desire that we shall be a God-serving family, and I wish to be strong to hold my children from the evil, and to lead them to the Saviour.”
A sister requests prayer for her unconverted husband, and also for a man in her neighborhood who is in a sad state of mind because of having done something which he does not feel free to confess. Pray that he may confess it to the right persons, and come out from under the shadow of condemnation. She also requests prayer for another man and his family, who are quite profane, but kind-hearted, and somewhat interested in the truth.
“I desire special prayer for my husband, who is unconverted, and is now under treatment at Hot Springs, for rheumatism. He has suffered so much from this disease that the doctors have had to inject morphine, and he has formed the habit of using it. The doctor told him that he could cure the rheumatism, but it would be very hard to break up the morphine habit. I am almost heartbroken over his condition, and ask special prayer for him immediately, as he is very weak. He writes me every day to keep on praying for him, and that if God will spare him he will do better. I have told him that I was going to request the prayers of the sisters for him, and he will certainly appreciate your prayers. Pray for me also, that I may be able to bear whatever troubles may come upon me, and that I may reflect the image of my Saviour.”
