Aug 23 - Gifts That Differ

TODAY'S FOCUS

God gives different gifts and different measures of grace. Every gift is needed, and every gift must be exercised faithfully.

TODAY WE CARRY BEFORE THE LORD

We pray for senior adults. May they be strengthened, honored, included, and released to continue serving through prayer, wisdom, testimony, mentoring, generosity, and faithful presence.

LISTEN AND RESPOND

Do we recognize senior adults as active contributors or only recipients of care?

Whose wisdom or testimony should we invite and preserve?

How can generations serve alongside one another more intentionally?

PRAYER

Father, thank You for the faithfulness and wisdom of senior adults. Strengthen them and help us honor the gifts they continue to carry. Create meaningful relationships across generations. Let teachers teach, encouragers encourage, leaders lead, givers give, servants serve, and those who show mercy do so with joy.
