REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

“I EARNESTLY desire prayer for my husband, that he may be healed of a terrible attack of rheumatism, and that he may see the true gospel as it is in Christ Jesus. Pray also for the conversion of my three children. I know we should never become discouraged, but there are terrible battles to be fought when all the family are not in harmony. I can not send for any of our books or publications without trouble. Pray that I may be patient.”
“I wish the prayers of the circle for my husband and only son, who are both unconverted. They do not care to go to any church, and have no interest in their soul’s salvation. My son is given to the drink habit, and seems to be going from bad to worse; he spends all his money for drink, and often stays out all night. I cannot think that he is a hopeless case, so let us earnestly plead with the Lord that he may be saved from this great evil. Also pray for me; I have not had good health for many years, but I know the Lord can fully restore me.”
“I feel a longing to write to you this evening and request prayers for my children who are not saved. They are good boys, but not concerned about their spiritual welfare. They are not born of the Spirit. Pray that they may be speedily saved. Also pray for my husband, who was very bitter against the Sabbath; he does not say so much now, but he does not love the message. He thinks it a dangerous error. Pray that he may be deeply convicted and converted to the truth. Pray also for me, that I may ever walk in the light, and be kept from the burden of cares that crowd my life.”
“Dear sisters, pray for me, that I may soon be relieved of this terrible affliction, and be able to begin my work again. About two years ago, I had a similar sickness, only not so severe. I went to Battle Creek for treatment; but after taking a few baths, I asked the prayers of Sister Henry. After she had prayed, a meeting was called by Brother Prescott, and prayer was again offered for my restoration. In a few weeks I returned home with all traces of my trouble gone. Sisters, pray that God, in His mercy and power, will heal me again; for I am most terribly afflicted, and my soul is anxiously awaiting deliverance.”},{
