A Scripture and a Prayer: “God Will Sustain”

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” (Isaiah 46:4)

Prayer: A Prayer of Gratefulness

Lord, as we get older, and not so much wiser, we greatly appreciate this promise You give, that in Your faithfulness, not our own, You will sustain, You will carry us through, even when we are ready to give up. Thank you for this and the promise we see that goes along with it, in how You will never leave nor forsake us when things get tough, and we have no strength. And then, how You will deliver and renew our strength, allowing us to either soar on wings like eagles, or run and not grow weary, or for that matter just to walk and faint. What a wonderful and faithful God You are, even when we’re not as faithful as we should be. And while we say, “Thank You Lord,” it doesn’t seem to be enough for all that You do. AMEN
