One very important prayer-time companion is your Bible so that you can read what the Word says about what you’re praying about. For example, if you’re praying for patience with someone or something, read what God has to say about patience. If you are talking to God about depression or anxiety, read about His promises to bring comfort.

I often talk to people who tell me the same thing. So I tell them to be creative in their prayer time. I know some people who pray while they’re getting dressed in the morning.

Yes, it is. Many older couples find this to be the case. One thing Virginia and I have done for many, many years is to have a weekly date night. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but you’d be amazed how enjoying a quiet night out, a walk along the beach, or a stroll […]

This is a very common question I hear from seniors today. Is it really possible to have hope when it seems there’s nothing to hope for? The answer is a resounding yes!
In Christ, there’s always something to hope for…

We’ve been so encouraged by the appreciation that’s shown to us by those who’ve been impacted by our ministry. We always love receiving emails and letters from seniors just to say thanks for our devotionals and web tools. It’s so great to see people realize it’s never too late to begin getting into God’s Word!

Yes, one way is to praise God in any and every situation. Now, I know this isn’t a natural response to stress and fear, but learning to be thankful for whatever circumstance you’re in will help you see things as God sees them and He will encourage you as you learn to trust in Him.
