Staying Right with God Even Just for Today

God, I may have offended thee
Because I've done something unbecoming of Your follower
I wanted some and more and much more of this world
And spent most of my waking hours in this pursuit.

I cannot blame others if they think ill of me
That I do not deserve to serve You in whatever capacity.
But today, even just for today, 
I want to be right with You.

I am deeply sorry for previous indiscretions 
That surely offended others' sense and sensibilities.
But I beg You today to forgive me and give me one more chance
To take that path I've been with You before.

The path that made me grow and thrive
And brought me inner joy and peace
And freedom.

But I'm sorry - I've forgotten.

I've wandered far from this path
And everyday, the world is pulling me further away from it!
Release me from the clutches of the vanity of this world
I want to walk with You once more to that path where You taught me

That contentment in life emanates from You- and You alone
The source of what is true, what is good, and what is beautiful.
