At retirement: You love me, eternal God, when I leave the world of work. Keep me sensitive to your will for me now.

Those early days: Surprising God, I need my second wind in these retirement years.

When the honeymoon ends: Lord, the first exciting days of retirement are gone, what doors do they open? Help me to trust when I cannot see.

God calls again: We thank you for the call that comes in the later years. Help us ever to “press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus”

Who’s afraid of getting old?: Loving God, for years I was taught to dread getting old. But I am learning to accept my limitations, to cherish my white hair and to actually to enjoy being older.

Prayers for life’s later years: We're grateful for days of retirement … when we are given time to enjoy the grandchildren, wield a hammer for Habitat, engage in intercessory prayer. Awesome God, It is easy to look at my problems and complain. Deliver me from being a whiner. When I look at the simple goodness of so many people … I can exclaim, God, the wonders there are!
