Take Time

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

I had so much to accomplish that I didn’t take 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 tried 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.
