Day 17: Teach Us to Number Our Days (Psalm 90)
Psalm 90 contrasts the shortness of human life with God's eternal presence. It names the sorrow of our passing days, yet asks God to satisfy us with his unfailing love so that we can be glad. Today's step invited us to bring both our despair and our hope to God.

Despair and hope for me come hand in hand in life and it's important to navigate them both and not let one overtake another one 💛
