The Difference :)

I got up early one morning, and rushed right up into the day.
I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray.

Problems fast 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 me, 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, lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock." 

I woke up gently this morning, and paused before entering the day. 
I had so much to accomplish, that I had to take time to pray.
