Title: 'Caring For The Elderly'

The Bible says in:-

Psalms 71:9
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

Romans 15:1
We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Dear God,
It is clearly your will, that we look after our elderly folk. Aging is a process that everyone of us will encounter. As the body gets older, sometimes it begins to lose some of its functionality through the wear and tear of living.
Today I pray that we remember all of our elderly folk. We thank you for the positive contributions that each and every elderly person has made to our lives.
In the hustle and bustle of life help us to remember them lord. Give us the strength and resources to care for our elderly Lord.
Help them not to be left out of regular daily living, but to continue to be as important to us as they are to you Lord. Please bring relief to all those who may be lonely, bored, rejected, forgotten or struggling Lord, including those who may have lost their will to live. Bless them with a renewed zest for life.
Remind them Oh God of how much they are deeply loved, and appreciated. Help all those people around elderly folk to treat them with the respect, dignity and tenderness that they all deserve.
Teach us to value all our elders, and to assist them in gracefully ageing. I pray today that all elderly folk may live out their last days in joy, peace, comfort, serenity and loving companionship. This I ask in Christ Jesus mighty name. Amen.

I thank you so much for answering this prayer request.


















Much Love
