PRAYER
Author: unknown, even after a Google search.

I got up early one morning,
And rushed right into the day.
I had so much to accomplish,
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 did’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, “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!
