THE DIFFERENCE

I got up early one morning, and rushed right into the day:

I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tubled 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.

He said, But you didnt' 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 ealry this morning, and paused before entering the day:

I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.
