Lord, help me to number my days and make the best of every minute that I have left. Help me also to value the friends and relations that I have, for none of know the day or the hour of our own death. Lord, I know that I am going to miss my brother, but I thank You that one day we will stand together before Your throne of grace. But until that day, I pray that I may live my life in a way that is honoring to You. This I ask in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
