Living long is a blessing, not just for ourselves to enjoy but a gift to give to our family and loved ones. However, we live in a world of many perils, but we pray we can overcome them all and live many days in peace and joy.
For the blessing of a long life, say this prayer.
Dear God, thank you for the gift of life and the joy that every day brings. I ask that you preserve me from evil and do not let sickness and disease come near my dwelling. I pray that I’m always delivered out of harm's way and exempted from danger by the power of God. I pray I continue to flourish many more days under the banner of your love and protection till I have lived all my days. Amen.
