Here is today's prayer:
Eternal God, who has given unto us the gift of this another day, help us to use wisely and to use well the time which Thou has given unto us.
Help us not to waste time on the wrong things, and on the things which do not matter.
Help us not to spend time in idleness, so that the hours go back to Thee unused and useless.
Help us not to put off until tomorrow that which should be done today, and ever to remember that we cannot tell if for us tomorrow will ever come.
Help us to do with our might each thing which our hand finds to do, and to do it as unto Thee, that we may come to the evening time with nothing left undone, and nothing badly done: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
From William Barclay's The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, page 48.
