I surprised myself when I found myself praying for wisdom ,praying for wisdom at fifty plus !But I was !In fact I have realized that as you grow old you lose the brash confidence of young age ,the all knowing attitude .Experience mellows you ,youlearn to appreciate and acknowledge different and diverse views You realize the inevitability of certain facts and your own vulnerability .Your love becomes less demanding and more forgiving and accepting .And you need infinite patience and understanding .Youth has rights Age has responsibility so no wonder I pray for wisdom and maturity .
