Prayers for Parents' Health

We are all impacted by the health of our parents. It is a debt that cannot be paid back in words, but must remain owed for life. As children we were provided with what they could not provide themselves; care and love - now it's your turn to return those blessings through prayerful consideration on how you might better serve them during these times when they need extra support or encouragement most.

Dear Lord,

My parents are my givers of life. As they created me, and raised me to be the person I am today, may they live long, healthy lives.

I pray that you provide for their needs, and allow them to continue to walk beside you as they faithfully have through their lives thus far.

Allow them to grow in your wisdom, as you nurture them to old age.

Help me to understand their needs as they change through the years, and to offer them the love and support they give to me.

Teach me to honour my children, as my parents honour me, and allow me to be a good example to them that they raised me to me.

Lord, I ask that they benefit from the joys of old age, and spend the rest of their days happy and fulfilled by your guidance.

Amen.
