Bible verse
Psalm 90:12
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
What it means
Our days are numbered, and knowing it is not morbid but clarifying. To count our days is to hold them as the gift they are and spend them on what truly matters. This prayer asks God for a heart made wise by remembering how short life is. In Christ our brief days are folded into His endless life, so we can pour them out without fear. Ask Him to teach you what deserves your one wild, fleeting stretch of time.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
