Summary
Psalm 90 contrasts God's eternal nature, creative power, and righteousness with human temporality, sinfulness, and weakness. An accurate view of God's greatness naturally produces six specific prayers: requests for wisdom, compassion, satisfaction in God, rejoicing amid adversity, deeper vision of God's work, and divine favor. A vision problem in prayer stems from viewing God inadequately.
Highlights
How you see God changes what you request of Him.
When you have an accurate view of who God is, his eternity, and your temporal nature, it leads you to say, I want to number my days carefully. I don't want to waste them away on things that are trivial.
The reason why we don't come to God with these requests fervently with a sense of urgency is because we relate to God like stubborn three-year-olds. I can handle this life on my own.
