THE DIFFERENCE

The Difference 

 This poem reminds me to take time out of my busy schedule start my day by whispering a word of prayer because it really does makes a 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 wandered.

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.
