"Thought about Prayers"

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 servant, 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

Wa Alslam Alaykum wa rehmet Allah wa berkatoh,
