Labour not for the meat that perishes, but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life. John 6:27. I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day. John 9:4. For the time is short. 1 Corinthians 7:29.

There is much labouring, writing, and doing, but it is only to get the name of a great learned man; which does not bring any fruit and reward for eternity. O Lord, how soon is my life at a period! How little or nothing good have I worked! O how much have I wasted of my time and strength already, only in vain thoughts! And what shall I say of all the unprofitable, nay sinful words and works? Lord, I cannot answer thee one of a thousand. I am ashamed and humbled in thy sight.

Pardon, pardon me, O Lord, and grant me that henceforth I may redeem my time and strength better, and bestow every part of them upon the most important and useful things, especially upon prayers for myself and others.

Nay, let me spend all my hours, as it were, with prayers, and thus send them before me into eternity, that I may reap a blessed fruit of every hour, in the world to come. O therefore, set eternity in all things before my eyes as my only mark.

Our days alas! our mortal days
Are short and wretched too;
Evil and few, the patriarch says,
And well the patriarch knew.

Let heavenly love prepare my soul,
And call her to the skies,
Where years of long salvation roll,
And glory never dies.
