PRAYER FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
Fathom Church - Pastor Nathan Deisem

Father God you are our refuge and strength. We are so thankful that when we pray we know that YOU, the almighty God of the universe, hear us and that you care. Today we lift up to you in prayer our beloved Seniors!

God we are so thankful for the wisdom and experience that they have and share with us. I pray that they would know and feel just how treasured and respected they are. I pray that you would remind all of us to treat them with honor. I pray that you would help to foster relationships of guidance and mentorship between those of us who are younger in Christ Jesus with those who have walked with you for a long time so that our lives, our churches, and your Kingdom can be blessed through them. We know that in this fallen world old age brings with it physical challenges. I pray that you would strengthen, rejuvenate, and comfort your mature servants daily. I pray that your Holy Spirit will give them all the rest that they need. Sustain them so that they can continue to carry out the sacred Kingdom Responsibilities you have for them. Keep them healthy and safe Lord Jesus!

Remind us who know and love them to remember them, check in on them, and supply for their needs as your body the church and the family of God. During the summers to check that they are sufficiently cool and in the winters sufficiently warm, and that their needs are provided for, because in the years before your faithful servants loved and cared for us and even now they are an integral part of your kingdom plan within the church to continue to lead us ever more to love, honor, obey, worship, trust, and serve you Lord Jesus! Thank you for our older brothers and sisters in Christ – our spiritual fathers and mothers. Bless them and keep them safe. We pray this in Jesus name amen!
