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 rumbled around me heavier came each task; "why doesn't God help me?" I wondered. He said, "But 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 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.
