REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“Please pray for my only son. He is an amiable youth, but is not a Christian, and has no love for religious reading or meetings. My heart aches for my dear, loving boy.”
“I ask an interest in the prayers of God’s people for my daughter, an only child, that she may be converted to God; also for a niece who has become entangled in the meshes of Satan, that she may be led out of darkness into the marvelous light of God’s truth.”
“It is my earnest desire to have prayers offered in my behalf. Oh, I must have help soon! Please pray earnestly that the Lord will heal me of all my infirmities, especially that He will heal me spiritually. Also pray for my husband and children. I believe that the prayers of God’s children avail much.”
A sister who has been a widow fifty-nine years, and whose children are now grown, and have left home, with the exception of one son, requests prayer for her children, that they may be converted and accept the truth. The son who is at home with her has been a Sabbath-keeper, but has become discouraged, and does not attend religious services. This sister is carrying a heavy burden for her family; let us share it with her by earnest prayer.
My dear husband is unconverted. When we were married, he hardly believed there was a God, but now I have reason to think that he believes differently. He is, however, very unconcerned, and laughs when I say anything about the end of all earthly things. The other day he said that we should never live so long as that. I realize to some extent the shortness of time. My father is an observer of the Sabbath, but uses tobacco, and is not converted. I also have a sister and three brothers unsaved. I do want to see them converted. Please pray for them.
“Inasmuch as I believe that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much, I most earnestly desire your prayers in behalf of my family. Both my husband and my son have known what it is to enjoy the presence of Christ in our hearts, but have turned again to the world. Pray that they may yield to the Spirit of God, for I know that my husband is often under conviction of sin, but Satan has blinded his eyes to the truth in regard to the health reform, and, too, he is full of criticism. I, too, need your prayers for a clean heart and a right spirit, that under trial I can maintain meekness and patience, also loving forgiveness toward the offender.”
