I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day;I had so much to accomplish that I didn&rs;t have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me, and heavier came each task.&ld;Why doesn&rs;t God help me?&rd; I wondered. He answered, &ld;You didn&rs;t ask.&rd;

I wanted to see joy and beauty,but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;I wondered why God didn&rs;t show me.He said, &ld;But you didn&rs;t seek.&rd;

I tried to come into God&rs;s presence;I used all my keys at the lock.God gently and lovingly chided,&ld;My child, you didn&rs;t knock.&rd;

I woke up early this morning,and paused before entering the day;I had so much to accomplishthat I had to take time to pray.
