Take Time To Pray

The following poem by an unknown author, emphasizes our need to exercise the privilege of daily praying to our heavenly Father:

I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn’t take time to pray.

Problems just tumbling 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.
