Psalm 88

Mosaic Community Liturgy: March 1, 2020

God hovered over the void and breathed life into dust.
God created in the wilderness.
The Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years.
The Israelites found God in the wilderness.
Jesus said “no” to the tempter time and time again.
Jesus claimed his identity in the wilderness.
We grow in the wilderness. We learn in the wilderness.
For God is with us—before, through, and after the wilderness.

Creator God, You breathed life into dust. You dreamed me up and brought me into existence. The least I could do would be to follow you, but even that is hard. Forgive me for my distracted ways. Remind me that in life and in death, I belong to you. On my best days and on my worst days, I belong to you. Amen.
