A Confession Prayer To My Father

I'm sorry, Father
Of being short sighted
I don't know that I am
Wretched, poor, naked in your sight
I forget that I have a soul
I am wallowing in my carnality
I forget in my memory that you are God
That everything in me is yours
Thank you for my failure
In that I remember you
In that I was awaken
With my mistakes, my being weak
And there, I am walking again
In your path of righteousness 
Thank you for reminding me
Thank you for the correcting me
Thank you for your grace and mercy 
Thank you for loving my soul.
