A Prayer for Old Age


"You have caused me to have many bad troubles.  But you will make my life strong again"  (verse 20a)
"You have caused me to have many bad troubles. But you will make my life strong again" (verse 20a)

1 Lord, I have come to you to keep me safe.


Never let me become ashamed.


2 You always do what is right,


so please rescue me!


Listen to me, and come to save me!


3 Be a rock where I can hide.


Be a strong place where I can be safe.


You are my high rock and my strong, safe place.


4 My God, save me from the power of wicked people,


so that those cruel people cannot catch me.


5 My Lord, I trust you to help me.


I have trusted in you, Lord,


since I was young.


6 Since I was born,


you have been there to help me.


You have taken care of me


since my mother gave birth to me.


So I will always praise you!


7 When people see me,


they see trouble!


But you are a strong place to keep me safe.


8 I can never stop praising you!


All the time, I speak about your glory!


9 Do not cast me away when I am old.


When I am no longer strong,


do not turn away from me.


10 For my enemies say things against me.


They think of ways that they can kill me.


11 They say, ‘God has turned away from him.


Run after him and catch him,


for nobody will rescue him.’


12 God, do not stay far away from me.


My God, come quickly to help me!


13 Make my enemies become completely ashamed.


They speak against me and they want to hurt me.


So let them fall with great shame!


14 But as for me, I will always wait for you to help me.


I will continue to praise you more and more.


15 I will tell people that you always do what is right.


I will always speak about your power to save people.


But you have done more than I will ever know about!


16 I will tell about the great things that you have done,


Almighty Lord.


I will tell everyone that you are righteous.


You, only you, are righteous.


17 God, you have taught me since I was young.


I still tell people about the great things that you have done.


18 And even when I am old and my hair is grey,


do not turn away from me, God.


I need to tell the people still to be born


about your great strength.


My descendants need to know about your power.


19 Your justice reaches beyond the sky above!


You have done such great things, God.


There is nobody like you!


20 You have caused me to have many bad troubles.


But you will make my life strong again.


You will lift me back out


from this deep hole under the earth.


21 You will make me great again,


so that people respect me.


You will turn back to me,


so that I feel strong.


22 I will pick up my harp


and I will sing to thank you.


I will praise you, my God,


because you do what you promise.


I will sing to praise you, the Holy One of Israel,


with the music of a lyre.


23 I will shout aloud with joy,


as I praise you with music!


I will sing songs to praise you,


because you have rescued me.


24 I will talk about your justice all the time.


The people who want to hurt me


will become confused and ashamed.

loneliness, despair, and isolation.

SPEAK UP!
No senior should endure mistreatment, neglect, physical, financial, emotional or verbal abuse from family members or providers. 
Seniors are worthy of kindness, respect & honor by virtue of age.

~God so loved the world and that includes YOU!

The Lord lovingly cares for each sheep.

His tender touch is like none other.

I know the plans I have in mind for you, declares the LORD; they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope.
                                    ~Jeremiah 29:11

Caleb, the spy said: So here I am today, 85 years old. I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out."  

See Joshua 14

Seniors, although aging; mount up!  Soar like the eagle. It's

SITE TO YOUR SENIOR FRIENDS.


 

It's my prayer that you be made 

in every way whole!

Visitors, I had no plan of creating this blog page.  Nonetheless, I pray your visit here was beneficial.  It was the The Holy Spirit who suddenly and out of the blue prompted me to create it.  That tells me that the message he's given me to share here he deems important.  I thank him for divine inspiration, his endowment of creativity, along with an innate perseverance to see it through to completion in accordance to what was envisioned.

We know that the secret things belong to the Lord (Deuteronomy 29:29(a) but the things which are revealed, belong to us and to our children forever and is not hidden. 

Apply what has been revealed here and bloom. It's your time!
