Prayer

I came across this poem in my morning devotions and wanted to share it with you. It is so true!!

The Difference Prayer Makes

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 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.
