Prayer For Aging With Dignity

I don’t want to grow old, God. I don’t want any part of it. But since I cannot stop the clock, my prayer is this: Let me age gracefully.

Dear God, please guide and grant me good health and mental clarity. Please give me the strength to overcome my vanity and combat self-pity. Help me to remain adaptable and open to new experiences. Protect me from isolation and loneliness. Thank you for your guidance and support.

May the love of my family and friends be my reward for all the struggles of my youth.

Let all the blessings of age emanate from me. Let wisdom flow from my mouth, compassion flows from my heart, acts of kindness flow from my arms, faith flow from my soul, and joy shines forth from my eyes. Amen.

Happy Mother's Day Classmates!
