Father,
our loving God,
I am getting old;
there is indeed a gap
not only in our age
but also in many other things.
Yet, it is so amazing
that even in this modern age
of great technological
advances me and my
generation could not keep up
much less even learn nor
understand, I am so grateful
to you loving Father
that people still these days
thirst for you,
yearn for you,
search for you.
In my dealings with
people these days,
both young and old alike,
they still prefer meaning
in life than just mere
material pursuits;
more people still find
themselves in moral dilemmas,
a sign they still have moral fiber,
a conscience bothered
by evil and sin.
Help us, dear Father,
to walk in Jesus Christ,
be rooted in him and be
built upon him so as not
to be captivated with empty,
seductive philosophy afflicting
even some churchmen
according to the tradition of men
and elemental powers of the world
not according to Christ
(Colossians 2:6-8).
May we remain
true to your teachings
and to your very person,
Lord Jesus
so as not to mislead
others to modern fads and
trends because we have
tried and tested,
you never go out of style;
you are always "in" because
you dwell in each of us,
truly "hip" because you are
forever true.
Amen.
