I think he, like so many people, is questioning if there's a God and Heaven. He's asking, possibly in vain, for God's help. To show him how to live a good life as he feels he's going down a path that will lead to trouble. The later verse about "love and glory" not meaning much to him could be the feeling of being left behind or unwanted by God; like "why does He let these things happen to me if He loves me?"
The allusion to a door being opened and being "let in" could mean a church or, to a larger degree, Gods kingdom: Heaven. I'm not a religious individual, but that's what i see and hear in the lyrics.
