O Lord, my God,
Please give me the grace
to maintain my hope in you through
all of life’s changes
and to taste and see your goodness.
I praise you for the gifts you have showered
on me for so many years.
Help me find joy in a renewed strength of spirit. Please bless me with good health,
and inspire me to be a good example to others.
For you are Lord, forever and ever. Amen.
