For everyone who has friends and family, or knows someone in their life who is older and/or is presently suffering from ill health of one form or another, this prayer is for you and for those you know:

Lord, every day we grow older,
some lose strength, for some, our health;
our youth withers away,
so we pray to you this day
do not let our spirit follow the path of our flesh.
Grant us, through the power of your Holy Spirit, a seed of hope,
with hope, you strengthen our minds, our souls and our bodies;
allow us to be genuinely alive, bring out our youth within us
and permit us to bathe but for a moment in your love,
for in that fraction of time you fortify our souls
and give us strength beyond strength.

By your will, we live,
and by your will, we act,
enable us to do so every day,
with youthfulness,
with health,
with wisdom.

Amen.

I’m presently at the planning stage for this blog.  If you’ve stumbled across it before I make a solid start, please keep an eye open for new content.

I have the desire to publish frequently as I wish to share my journey through bible study, prayer and through life’s many experiences.  I hope to share prayers for everything that comes to heart on a regular basis, so with that in mind I share this prayer for a new start:

Lord Jesus, today I start on a new journey,
an adventure that I share with an open heart,
a path that I pray will bring us all closer to knowing you.
Help us all to share in your wisdom and in your word,
bring the Holy Spirit upon us all to guide us.
Support us in whatever troubles may lie ahead,
save us from evil intent and strife.
Assist us all in opening hearts and minds to you,
that we may share in Gods love of us.

Amen
