The Wonders of Prayer Part 47

PRAYER ANSWERED FOR EMPLOYMENT.

"A foreigner without means and friendless tried in vain for ten months to succeed in finding some employment. He requested your prayers to G.o.d, and _G.o.d answered_. In less than eighteen hours a splendid position was offered to him. He and his wife give thanks, and pray that they may devote their lives usefully to the cause of G.o.d who has been so good to them."

FOUND EMPLOYMENT.

"G.o.d has answered our united prayers, and given employment to his child."

AN OLD LADY SAVED FROM LITTLE ANNOYANCES.

"Your prayers have been heard and answered in mercy. The old lady has not been quite so much annoyed. Thank G.o.d for some peace for the aged one, not able to bear what younger people can, that go out into the world and can find relief. I thank my heavenly Father for his loving- kindness and tender mercy for those that cry to him in trouble."

INSANITY DISPELLED.

"I sent a pet.i.tion months ago, for prayers for an insane husband. Your prayers have been answered. He has rapidly recovered."

RECLAIMED.

"I must ask you to return thanks with me that your prayers have been answered. An intemperate brother has been reclaimed."

RESTORED TO HEALTH.

"One month since, I requested prayer specially for my own family. My oldest son, who was then sick, has been restored to his usual health.

'_The prayer of faith hath indeed saved the sick_.'"

TEMPTATIONS REMOVED.

"Some months ago I asked your prayers for a son in college, amid great temptations. I desire to give thanks that those temptations have been removed."

THE HEART OF A CLERGYMAN TURNED FROM THOUGHTS OF AMBITION.

"I sent a request to you for a young man, who was called, and eminently fitted for the ministry, but was tempted, by ambition, not to listen to the divine call, and obstacles had hedged his way somewhat. After I requested your prayers in his behalf, this temptation was removed, and nearly one hundred persons were converted in the church which was under his care."

A GRATEFUL TRIBUTE.

"For a long time I have been the subject of personal affliction, caused by _two internal tumors_ of the _worst type_. Speedy death seemed inevitable; yet there was a little hope that a surgical operation might possibly remove the difficulty and prolong my day. To this hope I clung, submitted to the operation, and it was a success. To the earnest prayers of Christian people is due this grateful acknowledgment."

WAS A PERFECT SLAVE TO LIQUOR.

"Please return _thanks_ to our kind Heavenly Father for this answer to prayer. All last Winter requests were sent in for a gentleman, a perfect slave to liquor. Those prayers were answered, and he is attending church regularly, striving to do what is right to please his Heavenly Master."

ALWAYS ANSWERED.

"Several times in years past I have asked for the prayers of this meeting, and always found them answered."

CURED OF EPILEPSY.

"I wrote you to aid me by your prayers, that my afflicted son, who was troubled with epilepsy, might be cured. Thanks be to the Heavenly Father, he is better."

ALMOST LOST.

"Your prayers and mine for my son have been answered. He was almost lost, on the downward road of intemperance. He has now reformed."

A SITUATION OBTAINED BY PRAYER.

"Yesterday I sent a request that G.o.d would give me sustaining grace and abiding faith, and in his own good time give me a situation where I might be able to support my family. In that very afternoon, I made a contract of $1,200 a year. Praise the Lord."

A BOUNTIFUL BLESSING.

"Some time ago I solicited your prayers for a blessing on my services, and _never, in all my life_ before have I been blessed as since that time. 'Tis truly wonderful; it has seemed as if I must have become some one else, and that it could not longer be me speaking with such boldness, and apparent success. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name."

SAVED FROM THE COMPANY OF A BAD LOVER.

"A week ago I begged you to pray for my daughter, who had given her heart to an unworthy man, praying that G.o.d might guide her to see him as he is, and turn her love from him. She is a child of G.o.d. In answer, G.o.d has caused a rupture between them."

AWAY FROM HOME, BUT NOT AWAY FROM G.o.d.

"Some weeks since I sent in a request for prayer for my sons who had fallen victims to intemperance and vice. My heart rejoices to-day in the hope that it has.
