REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

I ASK an interest in the prayers of our sisters for my oldest son, who uses tobacco. He is kind to me, and wishes to quit the filthy habit. Please pray for him, and pray that I may be a good mother, so filled with the Holy Spirit that I may have the right influence over him.

Pray that my unconverted husband and children may believe and obey before it is too late. I am completely broken down, in health. Pray that I may be given strength to do the work the Master has for me to do, in such a way that His name shall be glorified, and precious souls brought to the Saviour.

I desire to have your prayers for my family. My husband has backslidden, and my three stepchildren and two of our own children are unconverted. I desire that my own life may be consecrated to God and His work. My husband has the ability to teach others, having a good knowledge of the truth, but is easily discouraged.

“Please pray for my husband. He has been keeping the Sabbath for some time, but seems discouraged. He is working by the day, and is constantly in the company of scoffers and those opposed to the truth. Pray that he may give his heart to the Lord, and stand firm for what he knows is right. Also pray for the conversion of my brother, who has gone to a rough country far from home.”
