I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good things, therefore, that I can do, any good kindness that I can show a fellow being, let me do … - Stephen Grellet

Dear [God], I shall have this day only once; before it is gone, help me to do all the good I can, so that today is not a wasted day.

I spent a night of watchfulness unto prayer, like Jacob, wrestling the whole night for the Lord's blessing, and towards morning the light of His countenance did very graciously arise upon me. My trust and confidence are renewed in Him, blessed and praised be His adorable name!

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
