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 became 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 lovinginly 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.
