Lord, growing older is not always easy. I feel the
changes in my body, the slowing of my steps, the moments when my mind forgets
what once came quickly. There are reminders all around me that this life is
passing, that time is moving forward whether I’m ready or not.
And yet, I am not afraid.
Because this is not the end of my story.
You have promised something greater than what I see now.
A life where what is broken will be restored, where weakness will be replaced
with strength, and where I will finally see You face to face. That hope
steadies me in ways nothing else can.
Help me to hold this truth gently but firmly in my heart.
When I feel the weight of aging, remind me that I am not fading, I am being
prepared. Each step forward is not just toward an ending, but toward eternity
with You.
You have been faithful through every year behind me, and
You will be faithful through every moment ahead, even the final one.
There is no fear in what You have already redeemed.
So, I rest on that promise. My future is not uncertain;
it is secure in You. And when that day comes, I will not be stepping into the
unknown, but into Your presence.
