A young unmarried woman has been constantly prayed in the weekly church prayer meeting for a husband. ‘Lord, give me a husband.’ She would pray and then sit down. Her pastor tried to help her towards praying for others as well by saying this to her: ‘It’s all right to pray for a husband, but you need to broaden your prayer life. Pray for other people as well as yourself.’ In the next prayer meeting, the woman got up and prayed:’ Lord, please give my mother a son-in-law.’
A prayer item appeared in the Sunday bulletin of a liberal church which read: ‘Lord, we have done the best under difficult circumstances. We have been badly influenced by our homes and environment, so deal lightly with our lapses. Grant us the power to live harmless lives full of self-respect. Amen.’
