Time To Pray

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 grey 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.
