Keeping our priorities straight

We run into trouble,
you and I, when priorities are askew;
when thought is fixed on worldly things,
and not on "Let me do what pleases You."

So, let us turn to God and pray,
when foot first touches floor,
"May this day ahead be lived
with your will its guide and core."

See discord and confusion flee
and the same for discontent,
when putting our Father's wishes first
becomes our sole intent.
