Aging
Sin's curse results in physical deterioration and eventually death (Genesis 3:16-19). Aging is the accumulation of undergoing physical, emotional, social, and psychological changes throughout life. These changes can bring about loneliness, lack of purpose, guilt, self-pity, loss of friends, and limiting health issues. They become more problematic as we age.
Why I Don't Make Resolutions

If joy depended on our circumstances, we’d have had an awful year. But we haven’t.
What is God’s Purpose for Me Now that I’m Older and Don’t Feel as Needed as I Once Did?
When we are younger it seems a bit easier to relate to God’s purpose for our lives. We readily find meaning in our role as a parent, in social relationships, in work, and in church activity. As we age this can change.
