If the chief aim of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever, as we are instructed in the Westminster Catechism, then a daily evening prayer might be:
Thank you, Father, for a day guarded by your sovereign and loving care. I worship you for your magnificent glory manifested to me this day.
I acknowledge and repent of the times today when in thought, word or deed I failed to bring your name the glory it is due. Forgive me for the moments of this day when I allowed the cares of this day to overwhelm me and neglected your gift of faith -- and in so doing, I missed your offering of joy.
Bless you, O God, for the moments of this day when I beheld your glory and celebrated with joy...for the times when you and I shared quiet pleasure in each others company.
Thank you for the delight of your grace - seen and unseen by me this day. Grant me the rest and peace this night that will strengthen me so I can begin tomorrow equipped to glorify and enjoy you one more day. Amen.
