REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“Pray for my dear boy, sisters, who seems to be slipping away from the love of the present truth. Also pray that I may be a faithful wife and mother.”
“Please pray for my son. Ask God to destroy his appetite for tobacco and rum, for they both go together. He used to smoke cigarettes, but I think he left that off. His appetite is inherited from his father.”
“At the noon meetings, I desire all of the dear sisters to pray earnestly that my husband may entirely surrender himself to his Maker, and be converted. Also pray that I may follow my Master wherever He leads.”
“Please pray for a young man who accepts the Sabbath and has been baptized, but has never fully united with the church. He is afflicted with Bright’s disease, and his mind seems to be failing. Pray also that his mother may accept the truth in its entirety.”
“My sister wishes to be healed. Pray that she may not be so desirous of pleasing her husband that she can not see the true light, also that she may be spiritually healed, and I feel sure that the Lord will then heal her physically. Also pray that my dear father may see the true light of God.”
“I request you to pray for my husband, who is entirely out of Christ, and for father, who does not accept the Saviour; also for my four sisters, who were once Christians, and belonged to the church, but who let the faults of others keep them back. Pray also for me, that I may live Christ in my home.”
“I wrote in the summer, requesting prayer for my son, who was separated from his family. I desire to tell you that the blessed Lord heard the prayers of the dear sisters, and my son is now living with his family. He is not yet converted, and will you please pray for his thorough conversion, also for my husband and other four children? I do long for their salvation.”
“For a long time I have been reading the requests for prayer, but never until lately has my heart responded in heartfelt prayer for others. Since I have been praying, I am encouraged to ask prayer for my husband, who is not in the truth, and who left his home months ago, and shows no disposition to return. Pray that he may accept the truth, and return to his home.”
“I request prayer for my husband, that he may be converted to God, — he believes the truth, — and for my eight children, that they may love the Sabbath, and that the way may open so I can send my little ones to a church school. We have never had church privileges, and I sometimes long to see those of like precious faith. Nearly three years ago we were burned out, — lost a good house and nearly all our household stuff. I lost all our denominational books which I had, and since then have been too poor to buy. I miss them so much, especially ‘Great Controversy.’”
