My Teen's Conference captain two years ago told me something he does everyday. In the morning, before he does anything, he will pray to God; he starts the day off with God. At night, before he sleeps, he prays to God; he ends the day off with God. I think that's a very smart practice to have, to ensure ourselves that we realize that each new day is God's gift to us. I try to keep that practice as well, starting and ending the day off with God.
"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." [Psalm 118:24]
Each new day is a day where God has given us a clean slate, a new opportunity to show God's gift of life through us. We cannot anticipate how the day will go, or even prepare for it. You may think, "I'm just going to school today, then coming home to do homework, use the computer and sleep," but no! God made this day, and just because you "plan" these activities doesn't mean it'll always work out that way. We must fully rely on God to bring us through the day and rely on him and his grace, not our own! Let us remember that each day, each breath is a gift from God.

Each new day gives us a reason to praise the Lord.
