O Lord, 

come back to us!

How long will you delay? Take pity on your servants!

Psalms 90:13 NLT

Moses song is full of lament, questions to God, statements about God's anger, and about how short life is.

Not sure what was going on in Moses life when he wrote it, but when we need words and can't find them its OK to borrow the psalmists.

When it seems that God is angry with us it's OK to let Him know.

When we realise our time is limited it's OK to let God know how we feel.

When God seems distant it's OK to let Him know. 

'Cos Moses did.

Given the content, maybe Moses wrote this song after his sister Miriam had died?

Our losses need grieving, are worth grieving, and they come in all kinds of packages, jobs, businesses, money,  places we've lived, relationships, and people. 

Psalm 90 gives us not just permission to grieve, but some words of loss and grief if we can't find our own. 

(On the flip side of that coin, celebrate the good, the wins, the joys, be grateful for good relationships, what is).
