Senior Citizens and the elderly people of any community are such a great resource to those they share there life experiences with. The Bible teaches us to treasure these relationships and learn from those that are older than us. These Bible Verses about seniors and elderly give us great direction on how to pray for them and how God intends the next generation to learn from those of older age.
Use these scriptures when praying for Seniors and the Elderly;
