PRAYER - FOR A GOD-LOVING SENIOR
by Richard L. Provencher Prayer - For A God-Loving Senior "Those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun." (2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT) Father God, continue to support my limbs, my mind and my attitude about life. Let me have discernment that I may remember my grandchildren, my family and view those pictures with a smile, in spite of nasty past distractions. Let me wheel my chair in happiness across sidewalks, push a grocery cart with glee, walk in surety and above all greet strangers with good thoughts. My life has not been a bed of roses, yet You were always with me, and I thank you for the times Your shoulders carried this person, ungrateful in difficult moments, unforgiving during weak episodes, but returning to your fold with vigor. May my remaining days on this earth you created be filled with a continuing love I have in my heart for all, that I may dance to the tune of your salvation, forever and ever. Richard L. Provencher 2008 Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
