REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“I ask the prayers of the dear sisters in behalf of my husband, that he may see the evil of the use of tobacco, and give it up. Also pray that I may stand firm in all things.”
“Please pray for my husband and two sons. They drink, use tobacco, and are fast going down. I have prayed long for them. Pray also for me, that I may live right before them.”
A sister has a wayward son who has recently left home, in company with two other boys, and gone to the South. She earnestly desires prayer for the conversion of this dear boy.
“Pray that my life may be a consecrated one, and that I may have strength to overcome. Dear sisters, pray that I may be healed. I have been a sufferer for years, and doctors can not reach my case.”
“I ask special prayer for my husband, who assents to the truth, but has never been converted. Pray that he may lose his desire for tobacco. Pray also that my children may see their need of a Saviour, and that I may be faithful.”
The sisters of the — church request prayers for the restoration to health of a dear sister who has recently accepted the truth. The circumstances of her case are such that we feel that it would be to the glory of God if she were healed.
“Will you pray that I may so live that the Lord can use me in my home and elsewhere as He sees fit, and that my family may be speedily brought to see the truth as it is in Christ Jesus? I know that nothing is too hard for the Lord.”
“I would ask that you remember my invalid cousins in your prayers; also my husband, who is not in the truth, but belongs to the Disciples. Pray that I may be faithful in my work here, and that my prayers may avail in behalf of my husband.”
Pray that the three boys of one of our sisters may be converted. One is anxious to stop drinking, but can not; the second one is such a slave to cigarettes that he can not give them up; and the third is a good boy, liked by all, but not a Christian. The mother desires me to ask you to pray especially for their conversion.
“I am the only Sabbath-keeper here, and my husband is very bitter. He has always been so, but is growing more so. I beg of you to unite in special prayer that he may turn to Christ soon, and that he may be a faithful worker in the Lord’s vineyard, and that all my children may give their hearts to God.”
“My husband is not a Sabbath-keeper, and I do want him saved. He does not oppose me in the least, and is a thoroughly good man, has no bad habits, and is almost a model husband; but there is such a gulf between us, as he does not care to see the times in which we are living. He has always been successful in business, and to secure money seems to be his only aim. I ask prayers that God will give him a new heart, and a desire to know the truth. I do not know of one duty I have left undone to God or to my husband; therefore I feel free to ask you to pray for him.”
