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, 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 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.
