Praying for Our Church | Day 6

Praying for our Seniors

Lord, I lift up the senior members of our congregation. Thank You for every gray hair attained by righteous living. We are blessed by their example and ability to train us. Help us to be humbly submissive as we benefit from their wisdom and understanding. Help them receive the strength and power You’ve prom- ised to the weary and weak. May they put their hope in You and be renewed in the process. (Prov. 16:31; Titus 2:4; 1 Pet. 5:5; Job 12:12; Isa. 40:29, 31)

Proverbs 16:31

Gray hair is a crown of glory;
it is gained in a righteous life.

Titus 2:4

and so train the young women to love their husbands and children,

1 Peter 5:5

Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Job 12:12

Wisdom is with the aged,
and understanding in length of days.

Isaiah 40:29; 31

He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.

31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
