The MESSENGER Weekly Poem
No 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.
Problems just tumbled about me
And heavier grew 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.
