Walking With God Through Life
About this Episode
When prayer is urgent and the clock seems cruel, what do we say, and how do we trust? We dive into Psalms 70–72 to explore the arc from “Make haste, O God” to gray-haired praise and a father’s blessing that outlives a crown. The journey begins with David’s short, desperate cry that proves sincerity matters more than length. It then widens into a lifetime of faith where dependence becomes a mission: telling God’s might to another generation. Finally, it lands in a royal prayer from David for Solomon, a blueprint for leadership marked by justice, compassion for the poor, and the refreshing gentleness of rain on mown grass.
We share two striking testimonies—one of sudden rescue after years of wandering, another of steady faith kept for six decades—to show how God both saves and keeps. Along the way, we challenge a quiet trend in many churches: the temptation for older believers to step back. Psalm 71 won’t let us retire from influence. Instead, it calls us to mentor, teach, and hand off not just tasks but a story of God’s faithfulness. We also reflect on the power of written blessings—letters to adult children that carry courage, clarity, and joy—because words can become a legacy that steadies hearts long after we’re gone.
This conversation blends biblical insight with practical steps: pray simply and honestly when life hits hard, cultivate rhythms that carry faith across decades, and speak life into the next generation with intentional, encouraging words. We close with the doxology that frames it all: “Blessed be God’s glorious name forever.” If you’re seeking guidance for urgent prayer, long obedience, or parenting and mentorship that leave a mark, you’ll find a path here.
