A MEANINGFUL LIFE IS POSSIBLE

When you wake up every day, the first thing that you need to do is PRAYING.  What are you going to pray is IN PSALM 90.
PSALM 90   MOSES, setting forth GOD's PROVIDENCE, complained of human fragility, divine chastisement and brevity of life. He prayed for the KNOWLEDGE and SENSIBLE experience of GOD's good PROVIDENCE.
1 :    LORD, YOU have been our dwelling place in ALL GENERATIONS.
2 :    Before the mountains were brought forth, or even YOU had formed the earth and the world, even
        from everlasting to everlasting, YOU ARE GOD.
3 :    YOU turn mortals back to dust, saying, "TURN BACK, YOU CHILDREN OF MORTALS."
4 :    For IN YOUR SIGHT a THOUSAND YEARS ARE as passing of ONE DAY or as a watch in
        the night.
5 :    YOU carried them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep : in the morning they are like grass
        which grow up.
6 :    In the morning it flourished and grew up; in the evening it is cut down, and withered.
7 :    We are consumed BY YOUR ANGER, and BY YOUR WRATH are we troubled.
8 :    YOU SET OUT our iniquities BEFORE YOU, our secret sins IN THE LIGHT OF YOUR
         PRESENCE.
9 :    For all our days are passed away IN YOUR WRATH : we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 :  SEVENTY YEARS IS THE SPAN OF OUR LIFE, eighty if our strength holds; all their best
        they are but toil and sorrow, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 :  Who feels THE POWER OF YOUR ANGER, who feels YOUR WRATH like THOSE WHO
        FEAR YOU?
12 :  So TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, that we may APPLY OUR HEARTS UNTO
        WISDOM (make us know how few are our days, that our minds learn wisdom).
13 :  RETURN, O LORD, how long? TURN and SHOW COMPASSION to your servants.
14 :  O SATISFY US EARLY WITH YOUR MERCY; that WE MAY REJOICE AND BE GLAD
        ALL OUR DAYS.
15 :  GRANT US DAYS OF GLADNESS for the days YOU HAVE HUMBLED US, for the years
        when we have known misfortune.
16 :  LET YOUR WORK APPEAR unto your servants, and YOUR GLORY unto their children.
