Dear Father, I come before you to get strength and comfort. Like tender children, we lean on Your care, even as we journey through the stages of life into old age. When we rely on Your strength, we are fortified, but when we lean on our own understanding, we falter in weakness. As we navigate the trials of life, instill in us the unwavering assurance of Your presence. Remind us continually that You are with us. May Your boundless love and grace encompass us now and for eternity. I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen
