Here is today's prayer:
Eternal God, grant that we may count it a day wasted when we do not learn something new, and when we are not a little further on on the way to goodness and to Thee.
Help us to try to do our work better every day.
Help us to try to add something to our store of knowledge every day.
Help us to try to know some one better every day.
Grant unto us each day to learn more of self-mastery and self control.
Grant unto us each day better to rule our temper and our tongue.
Grant unto us each day to leave our faults farther behind and to grow more nearly into the likeness of our Lord.
So grant that at the end of this day, and at the end of every day, we may be nearer to Thee than when the day began: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
From William Barclay's The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, page 52.
