The Power of Prayer

I got up early one morning and rushed 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 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.
