A long, long time ago (10+ years) I cut the following from a church bulletin (I think it was a Unison Prayer of Confession). I thought it was pretty wise, and I've kept it around. Today I'm almost recovered from the stomach virus, but since I'm sure you don't want to see pictures of that fiasco (not that we took any), I thought I'd share this today. I have no idea if it was taken from something famous, or just put together by my old minister or the Presbyterian Church.
Forgive us for being sidetracked by things of little consequence, lest we miss the road signs of our purpose and destiny. May we not be so enslaved in a monotonous rut that we miss the spell of a sunset, a strain of lovely music, the song of a bird, the sweetness of love. Help us weigh what is important, for our worth is measured by those things about which we busy ourselves.

I disagree. Your re-wording implies don't busy yourself with things that don't matter. The original wording is more proactive and implies you should actively busy yourself with things that do matter.
