I have been young, and now am old.
– Psalm 37:25 (RSV)
Feeling old, dried out, past your prime?
Not so fast, friend. Perhaps God wants you as a base — the foundational element for a special work He is doing. Without your presence, the other features would be ordinary and less grounded.
Prayer
Lord, give me faith that You have a special purpose for me at this stage of my life.
Quote
We must lovingly leave some work to others and not seek to have all the crowns.
// St. Francis de Sales
Reflection
Is there a way in which you feel dried out, brushed aside or let down? Ask God to make you useful in your current place.
