Why One Should Pray?

I got up early one 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 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.
