Monday Morning Prayer

February 26, 2007

10 The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.
11 Who considers the power of your anger,
and your wrath according to the fear of you? 12 So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.

(Psalm 90:10-12)

Awaken us, Lord, to see the preciousness of time.  Our lives are but a vapor on this earth, and then we fly away, either to everlasting joy in heaven or everlasting torment in hell.  This is the end of every human being on the face of the earth.  May that truth cause us to number our days rightly, that we might live our lives with a heart of wisdom, redeeming the time.  Forbid that we should waste away this precious life on the endless trivialities that our culture bombards us.  ‘Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last’.  Grant us, O God, to be engaged today, and every day, in Your work.
