Scripture and a Prayer: “Being Renewed”

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.” (2 Corinthians 4:16)

Prayer:

Lord, the older we get the more these bodies are going downhill. What was once tight and firm is now a little less tight, and a lot less firm. But this is the way of all human life. Yet, in the Spirit, it is exactly opposite. Proverbs 20:29 says, “The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is their gray head.” As we grow older, help me to grow wiser, and to be an encouragement to the generations that are coming behind us. And in the process, may we grow ever closer to You until that day when we are in Your presence. Thank you for Your renewing love that comes our way every day. AMEN
