~ 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 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,
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.
