The Difference

Many may have seen this but I wanted to post this as a reminder.
The Difference by Alan Grant
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 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.
