REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

“PLEASE pray for my nephew, who has turned from the observance of the Sabbath.”

A mother requests prayer for her prodigal son, who has left his family and gone West, and is living an evil life. She writes: “Pray for my son’s conversion, and for his restoration to his wife and little ones. I feel as if nothing will avail for my boy but the prayers of the saints.”

“I request that you remember my youngest daughter at the throne of grace, that she may be truly converted. We have prayed and labored for her. While she is steady, truthful, and virtuous, she is not a Christian, and is surrounded with worldly influences in her work. I feel very anxious for her.”

Pray for a husband and father, who is untrue to his family, and is following a careless and shameful career. He says that he has not long to live, and wishes to have a good time. He was once a lover of the truth, but now he has turned away, and his conduct is influencing the lives of his three sons, who were also in the truth. The request comes from a daughter.

Pray for the husband of one of our sisters. He has given up the truth in discouragement. He started out with strong determination to serve the Lord; but soon after, he was dismissed from the firm where he had been employed for eighteen years, and then was driven from place to place, with little work, and sometimes no pay. He suffered loss of money and property, and finally gave up in discouragement and despair. He will not listen to God’s word; nor go to church.
