親愛的阿爸父
願祢憐憫失智症患者內心的痛苦
他們人生突然面臨驟變，
難以適應生活上無法自理、
記憶力逐漸的消退，
像是要進入一個未知的深淵黑洞，
他們驚惶害怕，
甚至認為自己即將失去價值，
父啊，求祢憐憫他們心中的恐懼，
願他們在病發初期，勇敢配合接受治療
也願父神保守照護者們，
他們忠心看護、能有憐憫的愛心和耐心
他們常面對患者因失憶的反覆要求
或是無端像孩子般，任意引發情緒，
父啊，祢知道他們精神上也是需要扶持
求父神賜給患者或照護者都有暖心的安慰，
越倚靠祢，內心就越能剛強得著釋放。
謝謝主
禱告是奉我主耶穌基督憐憫的名祈求，阿們。
我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷，也不怕遭害，因為你與我同在；你的杖，你的竿，都安慰我。詩篇 23：4
But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God! I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought! – Job 19:25-27
Dear God, help them to navigate their current season of life with strength and gratitude. Give them the courage to accept their current reality. Rid their hearts of any form of bitterness and anger. I pray that they will feel the depth and height of your love for them despite all that they are going through. Fill their hearts with peace and an assurance of spending eternity with you.
Lord calm their nerves and soothe the pains from the cancer, medications and chemotherapy. Wrap your loving arms around them and help them to keep their eyes on Jesus. Dear God, I pray that when it is time for you to call them home to you, it will be pain-free and free of struggles. May they feel a deep sense of peace and gratitude for their lives in that moment as they look to Jesus. May they be surrounded by their loved ones holding them close as you welcome them home to heaven. All of these I pray in Jesus name. Amen!

Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. – Jeremiah 17:14
Father, fill their hearts with faith and hope for each new day. Help them to remain steadfast in faith as they keep their trust in you. I pray that their spirits will not be broken.

I God have carried you since you were born; I have taken care of you from your birth. Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you. I will sustain you and I will rescue you.- Isaiah 46:3-4
Father, thank you for how you have sustained the health of my aging parents up till this very moment. Thank you keeping and preserving their lives thus far.

The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.- Psalm 121:7-8
Dear God, protect the elderly amongst us every single day. Shield them with your presence and keep them far from evil. I pray that they will never be victims of workers of iniquity and wicked men.
Protect them when they drive or are being driven. Protect them when they take a walk or sit outside their homes. Protect them when they go for hospital visits and carry out medical tests. Protect them inside their homes from danger, disasters and calamity. Protect those amongst them with mental illness and memory loss from mishaps. I pray that everywhere they go, your presence will always go with them as a guide and shield. And may your angels continually watch over them to protect them from all harm. Amen!

I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow My decrees and be careful to keep My laws. They will be My people, and I will be their God. – Ezekiel 11:19-20
Lord, I pray that you will bring our unsaved aging parents into your kingdom. Take away every heart of stone, bring down every wall standing in their hearts and minds against their salvation.
Open their eyes to see the lies Satan has sold to them over the years and may they see the way that leads to Christ. I break the power of the devil over their minds and call forth their salvation. They have been saved by grace and will confess Jesus as their Lord and savior in their lifetime. Amen!

So with old age is wisdom, and with length of days understanding. – Job 12:12
Father I thank you for a renewed infilling of your wisdom in the lives of our aging parents. As their days are, so shall they be full of God’s wisdom. Let this wisdom radiate from them into the lives of their loved ones. May their words always be laced with wisdom and counsel for their families and community.
I pray that your wisdom will help them to walk through their aging years with ease and clarity. They will not be discouraged or feel hopeless at anytime because your wisdom will be their guide and strength.
I pray that as they age, their lives will bear fruits of great impact and lasting legacies in their families and world at large. May they still find meaningful ways to contribute wisdom and insight in their churches and communities. May their latent gifts come alive in this season that they may use them to bless many around the world before the end of their lives. Thank you father for making them fruitful and flourishing in their old age. Amen!

Dear Father,
I pray for our aging parents and the elderly amongst us, that you will supply all that they need to navigate this season of life. Meet their daily needs and show them your goodness and favor.
I pray that the finances to meet their physical, material and health needs will always be available as and when due. Empower and bless their children and loved ones financially so that they will have more than enough to care for them.
Lord, even as you feed and care for the birds of the air, I pray that these ones will not suffer hunger, shelter or lack. You will send helpers and strong support systems into their lives who will show them kindness in their old age. I thank you heavenly father for a constant supply of the needed care, finances, love and support in this season of their lives. Amen!
