Time to Pray?
I got up early one morning,
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
I didn’t have time to pray.
Troubles just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task.
"Why doesn’t God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn’t ask."
I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"Why, child, you didn’t knock."
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, "You didn’t seek."
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.

I took that picture in San Diego. I wondered whether I should post the pict, but I decided that it really brought out the point of being too busy. :-)
God Bless,
Ry
