INTERFAITH WISDOM

About Morning Prayer.

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 in 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.
