REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

A SISTER who has just begun to keep the Sabbath requests prayer in behalf of her husband, that he also may see the truth.

I desire your prayers for my family. My husband is not a believer; my daughter is very worldly; and my son, fourteen years old, believes as I do, but is influenced by his associates, and I fear he will be drawn away into the world. Pray for them, and for me, that I may be faithful before them, and that they may be saved.

A brother who is wrestling under the conviction of some great sin makes the following request for prayer:—

Pray for me, that I may be forgiven, and may know what to do. I wish that God would make me whole and pure, so that I could do His work, but I fear I am lost. Please pray soon, or I am surely lost.

This brother has a violent temper. We hope that earnest prayer will be offered for him, that he may have strength to confess whatever stands between him and the peace which Christ has given for him, and that everything may be quickly made right.

Many of the sisters will remember that a few weeks ago a request for prayer in behalf of a sister in the insane asylum, whose case was regarded hopeless, appeared in this department. We are glad to pass on the following good word which has just been received from her husband:—

I am happy to report that your prayers have been effective, and that my wife's reason is being restored. Praise the Lord! In order to show you how marvelously the Lord has worked, I inclose two letters from the physician, and the letter which my wife herself wrote me. I am deeply grateful for your kind interest in my affliction, and assure you that it has been the source of much comfort and strength to me.

While we rejoice to get this word, we should not cease praying in behalf of this sister, but let our prayers increase in earnestness until she is fully delivered.
