Indwelling

Psalm 90

1Lord, you have been our dwelling place

in all generations.

2Before the mountains were brought forth,

or ever you had formed the earth and the world,

from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

3You turn us back to dust,

and say, "Turn back, you mortals."

4 For a thousand years in your sight

are like yesterday when it is past,

or like a watch in the night.

…….

12 So teach us to count our days

that we may gain a wise heart.

……..

Come in stillness and in solitude, in these hectic days;

come to the dwelling place of God.

Return your heart of prayer

to its most ancient home.

Seek there the hope of all creation;

the strength of eternity;

and peace which endures.

Know in your heart’s returning home;

safe shelter in the frailty of its truth

held within antiquity’s gentle arms.

Pray there that your heart of prayer becomes,

the dwelling place of the Lord.

Amen.
