REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“PLEASE remember my dear husband in prayer, that he may overcome the appetite for tobacco.”
“I ask your prayers for my husband, who is not a Christian, that he may be brought to the Lord, and for myself and little ones.”
“Will you allow me to ask an interest in your prayers for my dear father and brother, who know the truth, but the cares of this life keep them from living it?”
“I ask an interest in your prayers for my husband and two sons, who, though once members of the church, are not now living the truth, and are very careless and indifferent. Pray for me also, that I may live the truth before them. I feel encouraged to believe that the Lord will answer our prayers in their behalf.”
“I have three children who are not in the truth, and I earnestly request prayer for them,—a daughter who has never made a profession; one son, who belongs to the church, but uses tobacco; and a younger son, who has an evil temper. Pray that the appetite may be taken away, that the temper may be controlled, and that I may live right before my children.”
A sister in the South, who has received a knowledge of the truth in a remarkable manner, requests prayer for her husband and two children,—a girl of fourteen and a boy of eleven years. She also requests prayer for herself, that she may have courage to take a bold stand for the truth. She thinks that unless there is a great change in her husband, her stand for the truth will mean a separation from her home and her children. She writes: “This is the greatest cross of my life, but God is able to do all things well if I have faith, and trust in Him. My trials are indeed great, and I feel the need of help. Pray that my husband may be impressed to listen to the truth and may be converted, and that I may have wisdom to guide me, and strength to bear all.”
