Does God Care About Your Home L ife? E ach morning the editorial staff of T h e K i n g ’ s B u s in e s s meets for prayer. The primary con­

this man got up at four o’clock in the morning and before breakfast read through the entire Gospel of John. He underlined passages that seemed to speak particularly to him. That evening he chatted with his wife about these passages but her only reaction was one of great ir­ ritation. Here is great loneliness for a brilliant young man. But there is no despair. He kno>vs from per­ sonal experience that God wants to, and can change all inner turmoil to peace. Instead of fretting, this man is making room in his busy life to devour great portions of the Bible and to devote much time to prayer. He has found that God does care. Right now wherever you are and whatever you’re going through let me say on the authority of God’s unbreakable Word that He does care. He cares about you and every problem that touches your life. He does not want you to give up in lonely despair. The Bible says, “ Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father . . . Fear ye not there­ fore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” If you’ve never come to Him for forgiveness, come right now. If your loved ones need Him, trust Him now as never before. The Bible says, “ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long- suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” This is His loving will for you and for yours this day, this hour, this very minute. — L. H.

cern of this meeting is to pray for the requests sent in by readers. Every request is prayed for indi­ vidually and out loud. One of the most frequent requests is from men and women wanting prayer for the conditions in their home. It would bring tears to your eyes if you could read these letters that come in day after day. A mate that doesn’t seem to understand . . . financial problems . . . a pending divorce. It’s an almost endless list. And each looming problem is a threat to the home and all it repre­ sents. Many of you reading this right now are keenly familiar with this problem. Your home conditions may be so crushing that there seems nothing left but empty despair. Day after day after day. The same prob­ lems closing in again and again. And because they are such personal problems there are few people you can . . . or dare . . . discuss them with. You are left alone. Here’s what I mean. This is the story of a school teacher from Colo­ rado. He’s married and the father of three children. Neither he nor his wife were Christians although they attended church regularly. Their home was in turmoil and he was drinking rather heavily. Then this summer he received Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. He says Christ immediately changed his way of living where years of psychological counseling had utter­ ly failed. But his wife is the same. She cannot understand that God will invade an individual and com­ pletely change his life. Recently
