"The Difference"

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
