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 became 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, grey 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 in 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.
