I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day.
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't take 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 gray and bleak,
I wondered why God didn't show me.
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 starting the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray!
