The Difference

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.
