The Difference

Ask, and it shall be given you;
Seek, and you shall find; Knock,
and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asks, receives;
and he that seeks, finds; and to
him who knocks, it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:7,8

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 became 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!
