Ageing:

Free Resources For Hope And Encouragement

On this page, you will find support, inspiration and encouragement — stories of faith, hope and trust in God from real people as they reflect on some of the challenges and changes that come with growing older.
Ageing can bring wisdom and joy, but it can also bring fear, grief, loneliness, and big life adjustments – but in every season of life, God is with you.
From a greater concern for our physical, mental and psychological health, to changes in our lifestyle, our relationships, or the environments in which we live, the experience and awareness of growing older can be hard, and, at times, overwhelming.
But, while we grow older, God remains the same – watching over us, caring for us, and continuing to pour out His unconditional love and blessing into our lives. God assures us that His plans for us never cease, and that we are as precious, as valuable and as wonderful to Him as we were, each and every day before.
If you, a friend, or a family member are currently navigating the changes and challenges of growing older, our team will gladly keep the situation in our prayers.

Ageing: Prayer

A Prayer To Help You Ask For God’s Help And Strength

When we ask God to be at work in our lives, he both listens and acts – and no challenge is too big, too powerful or too overwhelming.

Would You Like Us To Pray For You?

If you would like prayer support, but don’t feel like you can pray right now, you can send us a Prayer Request and our team will pray for you!

When I feel worried, anxious or afraid about the future,
