The Difference

I got up early one morning, and rushed right up into the day.
I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray

Problems fast 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 me 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, lovingly chided, "My child, you didn't knock"

from: STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART, A PRAYER COMPANION.

Matthew 7:7-8
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."
