AGING

PSALM 71:9 (ABP)
God, don’t throw me out with the trash just because I've gotten old. Now that my strength is waning I need you more than ever.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:16 (CEB)
So we aren’t depressed. But even if our bodies are breaking down on the outside, the person that we are on the inside is being renewed every day.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even when our health starts to fail we trust that God will be with us.

PRAYER
Creator God, I am made in your image. You are the potter; I am the clay. As years roll into decades, I sense the Holy Spirit stronger within me. Encourage this strength in us as we grow up into eternity. Keep us close to your heart. Renew us daily in your love to serve you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
