I used to fear growing old would mean being abandoned, left behind. Psalm 71:9 hits differently when you understand the Hebrew shalach. It’s not just “don’t leave me”; it’s raw fear of being sent away, truly alone. I realized it’s okay to admit vulnerability. God sees it. He hears the trembling heart that worries about isolation. I may feel fragile, but I am never forsaken. His presence is steady, even when the world feels distant. #FaithAndAging #TheVerseYouSkipped #BibleInsight #ChristianSeniors #SpiritualComfort
