Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails. – Psalm 71 : 9
Loving Heavenly Father! Thank You for the life You have given me and thank You for sustaining and guiding me hitherto. Yes Lord! But for You I could not have come thus far. Thank You for being with me.Lord! I’m now so weary and tired and I do not want to be a burden to my dear ones. So strengthen me Lord as You strengthened Caleb and keep me in robust health till my appointed time on this world. Help me to bear fruits for You even at this age Master!Let me be a model to the Younger ones! Hold my hands Lord and lead me gently! Fill me with peace, joy and contentment so that I can always reflect Your love and compassion!Lord! Help me to use all the time I have now, only for Your glory! Strengthen my prayer life and keep me as a channel of blessing to others. Thank You for Your assurance that You will carry me to my old age, will bear me and deliver me. I lean upon You Master and I derive strength from Your word. I claim good health and fruitful life from Your hands. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

“
GOD guard me from those thoughts men think
In the mind alone;
He that sings a lasting song
Thinks in a marrow-bone;
From all that makes a wise old man
That can be praised of all;
O what am I that I should not seem
For the song’s sake a fool?
I pray — for word is out
And prayer comes round again —
That I may seem, though I die old,
A foolish, passionate man. Rate this poem:(0.00 / 0 votes)
