The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Abraham breathed his last full of years. Not just old, but full. His life was used, faithful, costly, and useful. That is what I want to pray for. Not just many years, but full years. Bless the older saints who have lived full years by Your grace. Bless the younger ones, too, that they would fill their years as they go. When my day comes, welcome me into Your presence, gathered with all Your people. Amen.
