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 grey and bleak.

I wondered why God didn't show me,

He said, "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.

Thanks to Jas, for the Card!! =)
