Take Time to Pray

The Difference

I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
I didn't take time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me
And heavier grew 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.
