The Difference - A Prayer

I don't know who wrote this, I got it from a friend on Facebook and don't know where she got it.

The Difference
I got up early one morning
and rushed 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.
