REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

An afflicted sister requests prayer for her father, mother, and son, who are not in the truth.

A sister who is in deep trial requests prayer for one of her family, who has given up the truth, that he may be reclaimed, and that she may have strength to endure to the end, and wisdom to take just the course that will be pleasing to God.

“I write to ask an interest in your prayers. Pray that my husband may accept all truth for these times,

that he may realize the solemn times in which we are living, and that he may consecrate himself to the service of the Master. Pray also for his mother, who is taking an interest in the Sabbath question; and pray for me, that I may always be faithful.”

A sister requests prayer for her husband and her sister-in-law, who were both raised in the truth; but soon after the death of their mother they gave it up. The sister-in-law has secretly used tobacco for many years, and this stands between her and Christ.

A sister requests prayer for her sister, who is one of the survivors of the Galveston catastrophe. She had a narrow escape, but now speaks of it as a light thing. Pray that she may give her heart to God before the soon-coming great and dreadful day of the Lord.

“I plead for prayers for my family, and for myself, that in my life my family may see something Christlike. I have three boys, and I feel especially anxious about the oldest one. It is only God who can keep him. My heart will break if my boys follow in the footsteps of their father, who drinks. Pray as you never prayed before, sisters.”
