Have you ever wondered what will happen when you’re the one who needs help someday? If the fear of getting older has been on your mind lately, this episode is for you.

Rachel starts with a conversation she had at breakfast during a prayer retreat this past weekend. A woman she had just met told her she’s afraid of losing her independence. From there, Rachel looks at Isaiah 46:4, Day 34 of her book Praying through Life’s Battles, The Way He Cares for You. She talks about what that verse meant for God’s people in Isaiah’s day, shares a few thoughts from Matthew Henry’s commentary, and gives some practical ideas for praying when you’re afraid of growing older.

You’ll discover:

How to talk to God about your fear of getting older
What Isaiah 46 says about the idols of Babylon and the God who carries His people
A way to pray Isaiah 46:4 back to God
A praise practice you can try this week with a notebook or your prayer journal

Rachel hopes this episode encourages you, wherever you are in life right now.

Until next time, remember: God sees you, He hears you, and He knows your needs.
