What do people with dementia pray for?


I won't post a picture of Mom praying since it is a sacred time for her but she prays on her knees every night.  She's 92, walks with a cane, and kneels for prayers every night.  What a lesson for me who finds excuses not to kneel when I pray.  I have to remind myself that Christ died for me so the least I can do is kneel for him.

With Mom's dementia I wonder what she prays for?  I spend lots of time in my prayers telling God what I want and suggesting ways He can do a better  job.  I bet Mom spends her time in gratitude.

  1. Interesting question. Probably by this time in her life her prayer life has been ingrained and something easier to remember.
