    Prayer by Sister E. G. White during an interview with Elder and Mrs. E.W. Farnsworth

    Heavenly Father, we come to Thee with our brethren to repeat the same prayers that they have offered for me and others. Let Thy blessing rest upon us. Be Thou our front guard and our rearward, that the enemy shall have no power to control mind or body, but that we shall be in a position that Thou canst speak and we can hear.25LtMs, Ms 17, 1914, par. 1

    Thou wilt answer our petitions; and we ask Thee, Lord, for Christ's sake, if it is Thy will, to give me strength and to give me grace to still continue. I am perfectly willing; or, I am perfectly willing to leave my work at any time that Thou seest best. Oh Lord, I greatly desire to do some things, Thou knowest, and would be willing to do them if Thou wilt give me strength; but we will make no complaint, because Thou hast spared my life so much longer than many anticipated and than I have anticipated myself.25LtMs, Ms 17, 1914, par. 2

    And now I ask Thee that my brethren that have come to see me, my children—I call them my children—I ask Thee to give them Thy grace and Thy keeping power under all circumstances and under all conditions. Thou canst guard them. We want to see the Lord's work done; and wherever Thou canst give strength to have it done, we pray Thee that Thou wouldst give that strength at this time.25LtMs, Ms 17, 1914, par. 3

    Give us light; give us joy; give us the great grace that Thou hast in store for the needy; and let us obtain it; and help us to carry it out. We ask it in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.25LtMs, Ms 17, 1914, par. 4

    Sweep back every mist of darkness and let the sunlight of Thy glory in. We give ourselves to Thee tonight. We are so pleased to see these brethren. We do not know what to say nor we hardly know how to treat it—it is a graciousness that we did not expect—but we ask Thee to let Thy blessing rest upon them, and let it rest upon me. And may we see the order of the Lord, and may we see the glory of His working in the meetings that shall be held. We ask Thee in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.25LtMs, Ms 17, 1914, par. 5
