This Week’s Prayer Prompts   

This week’s prayer request is about seniors.

The current demographic shift means almost one in four Canadians will be over 65 years of age in just over a decade. 
 
Seniors face many significant life transitions. Senior years may be a wonderful time of reflection and seeing the fruit of one’s lifetime. It may also be a time with difficult decisions, health concerns, the challenges of caregiving and loss of loved ones.  Pray for seniors who struggling with these aspects of aging. Pray also for seniors in our society to be surrounded by people who honour, respect and care for those who are aging.

Every week we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for.  Ministers Network Canada is an network of committed, consecrated and connected leaders who share a common goal: to advance and expand the Kingdom of God in Canada and the nations of the world. Its mission is to create an environment where every minister can thrive, grow, and be effective in their calling.
