The Noon-Hour Prayer

By Editor

"Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice." "And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends."
"PRAYER is not an overcoming of God's reluctance, but a taking hold of his willingness." How ready, then, we should be to claim his promised blessings in behalf of those who crave our help and sympathy, as we bow before the throne of grace! The following requests for prayer have come to us since the last issue of the REVIEW:—
69. A mother in Washington writes asking prayer for her two sons that they may fully consecrate themselves to God, and for herself that her hearing may be restored if it be the Father's will.
70. From the same State (Washington) comes a request for prayer from a sister who has been lame for twenty-four years. She longs to be healed that she may have a part in the work.
71. A burdened sister in Oklahoma asks the prayers of God's people in behalf of her unconverted husband.
72. A sad heart-cry comes from a Louisiana mother whose son is a drunkard. She appeals especially to the mothers in our Noon-Hour Prayer Circle to join her in pleading with God for his salvation.
73. One of our sisters in Ohio who has been unable to walk for eight years desires healing, if it be God's will, so that she may have a part in the canvassing work.
74. The husband of one of our Minnesota sisters, who accepted this truth about two years ago, is being drawn away by worldly influences. She asks prayer in his behalf, and also for herself that she may have strength to stand firmly for the right.
75. A brother in Pennsylvania earnestly requests prayer for the healing of his mother, who has dropsy.
76. From a sister in Quebec comes an urgent call to pray for her niece, a promising girl fifteen years of age. The mother is a praying woman and desires her daughter educated in our schools, but her father is not a Christian. Pray that she may not be led away by the worldly influences which surround her; also pray for the conversion of her father.
77. A Nebraska sister sends a request for prayer that she may be restored to health, and that if it be God's will, her scattered family may be united.
78. A faithful canvasser working in Ohio, desires prayer for the restoration of her eyesight, and also for the conversion of her brothers and sisters.
79. From the same State (Ohio) a sister writes earnestly asking prayer in behalf of her children who do not know the Lord.
80. A burdened mother in Redlands, Cal., requests prayer for her only son. He was reared in a Christian home and educated in our schools, but has never accepted Christ, and has formed the evil habit of cigarette smoking. She earnestly desires his conversion and healing.
81. A brother from the same State (California) whose hearing has become so defective that he is deprived of all church privileges, desires healing. Let us remember him before the throne of grace.
82. A sister in Michigan is afflicted with nervous prostration. She desires prayers for restoration to health.
83. An urgent request for the prayers of God's people comes from a mother eighty-four years old, in behalf of her son who is an invalid and an unbeliever. She desires his healing and conversion.
