The Difference

I got up eearly one morning,and rushed right into the day.

I had so much to accomplish,that I didnt have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,and heavier came each task.

"Why doesnt God help me?"I wondered,He answered"You didnt ask".

I wanted to see joy and beauty,but the day toiled on,gray and bleak.

.I wondered why God didnt show me,He said"You didnt seek".

I tried to come into Gods presence,I used all my keys at the lock.

God gently and lovingly chided"My child you didnt knock".

I woke up early this morning,And paused befor entering the day.

I had so much to accomplish,that I had to take time to pray.
