You made my life short,
so brief that the time
means nothing to you.
“Human life is but a breath..."
2 CORINTHIANS 4:16 (CEV)
We never give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even though life seems short and fragile we press on because we trust that through Christ God is eternally renewing our lives.
DAILY FODDER
In God's economy, the value of life isn't measured by longevity.
PRAYER
Renewer of life, I praise you as each new day dawns. I am grateful, that even as my body declines, your love renews me day to day. However, at times growing old is no picnic. As my abilities wane, give me a purpose for living. Help me be an encouragement to others who are aging and need hope. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
