I came across this prayer from a Hollywood movie that fictionalized a true story of an Arab encountering Vikings, it reminds me of a prayer I learned as a child.

The prayer of Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan, Ibn Al Abbas, Ibn Rasid... from the 13th Warrior

Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only… To live the next few minutes well.

For all we ought to have thought… and have not thought, for all we ought to have said… and have not said, for all we ought to have done… and have not done, I pray Thee, God, for forgiveness.
