Handmade cross stitch prayer picture. 

I got up early on 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 wonder
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 tried all my keys at the lock,
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child you didn't knock"

I woke early this morning
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray
