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.
