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," 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
