David Forsyth explores Moses' timeless pattern for prayer found in Psalm 90, revealing three essential elements for believers facing adversity and sorrow. This pattern for prayer begins by centering hope in God's eternal nature as our sovereign creator and refuge. Moses then guides us to consider our mortality honestly, acknowledging both life's brevity and God's righteous anger toward sin. Finally, this biblical pattern for prayer calls us to pray with courage—asking for wisdom to number our days, relief from affliction through the promised resurrection, and meaning in our work as we await Christ's return and the restoration of all things.
