REQUESTS FOR PRAYER

“PLEASE pray for my son, who drinks liquor.”
Prayer is requested for a poor sister, who has had very few advantages all her life, and is now in poor health. Her husband is an infidel, and her home life is not pleasant. In her home in the South she formed the habit of chewing tobacco, and it now seems impossible to stop. She desires to do so, and she herself requests an interest in prayer.
“Please pray that my little son may not be influenced by an unconverted father. I also request prayer for an aged mother, who lives a long distance from me, is unable to read, and knows nothing of our faith. I send her our papers, but no notice is taken of them. I presume those with whom she lives are prejudiced, and so do not tell her about the papers.”
A sister who is almost helpless from heart trouble requests prayer that she may be healed. She is an earnest and capable Christian worker, and has thoroughly examined her heart, and put away everything that the Lord has shown her would hinder this blessing. Her husband joins her in sending the request for prayer. Let earnest prayer be offered in behalf of this sister.
“I desire special prayer for my husband, who is unconverted, and is opposed to the truth, which is so clear to me. He seems to have no fear for his soul, and he has serious heart trouble. Will the sisters pray soon that he may be reconciled to God and be faithful to his family, and that God willchange his heart so that he will overcome his weakness for women? God alone knows what anguish I have suffered. How thankful I am that God hears the prayers of the saints!”
“I ask your earnest prayers for my dear husband, that he may realize his condition and responsibility, and turn to Christ soon; and for me, that I may know my duty, and faithfully perform it. I also request prayer for my two brothers, who believe the truth, but are too proud to obey it. I have often heard our dear mother, now dead, praying and weeping aloud for her children. Oh, may we not disappoint her, and the dear Saviour who died for us!”
