God promises to carry us even in our old age, so it’s vital to continue praying for the elderly. Though they may face challenges in their daily lives, they still need God’s strength, guidance, and protection. Prayer reminds them—and us—that His care never fades, and that they can rely on Him for every step they take. Supporting the elderly through prayer not only brings them comfort and peace but also honors their life, wisdom, and continued journey in God’s love.
Every person on this planet needs the help of God. Without Him, we can do nothing, so asking God for help should always be our number one priority. Do you know that without God, no one can truly help you? Yes, no one can, because the hearts of all leaders are in His hands. That’s why praying and seeking God’s help is so important.
