The Difference
I got up early one morning,
and rushed into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task;
"Why doesn't God help me?"
I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on gray
and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't
show me the way.
He said, "But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's
presence; I used all my
keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning
and paused before entering
the day; I had so much to
accomplish that I had to
take time to pray.
