Psalm 90:7-12

For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed. You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

Teach me, Lord, to number my days, to examine each one that I may spend it wisely in Your service. This is not a “whatever happens” life, but it is a life that must bring glory and honor to You in every aspect; no hidden spots, no shadows where unrevealed disobedience resides.
