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 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 used all my keys at the lock
God gently and lovingly chided
"Why , child, you didn't knock."
Lightning, Thunderstorm, Weather, Sky, Clouds
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 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.
Prayer
In Him, Mimi

Thanks for posting these today, Mimi. They spoke to my heart. One of these days I will share a Martin Luther quote I found on my father's desk just days before he went to be with the Lord he loved much. He was a man of prayer.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and for leaving your comments this morning. I heard the praise song on the radio while driving this week and I have been singing it ever since.

Mom, I love this poem - always rings true - when we are too busy for God, we are just TOO busy. Love you! Pam
Beautiful and so true. A wonderful and needed reminder.
Adrienne,
thanks for stopping by, this poem is a good reminder to myself to remember to pray before I start each and every day...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pam,
we both know that sometimes we are too busy doing busy work to stop and ask God for his guidance before the day starts...we're good at calling out to him during our busy problems... but we (I) need to remember to turn the day over to him before I have the chance to mess it up...

How true that is, Mimi, and the post is so pretty. You are really artistic when it comes to placing your pictures.
Thank you dear cathy,

Thank you very much for these words! Oh, they are so true, and I can recognize myself. So often I dosen't take time to prayer, and then the day will be like it is.
Can I copy this verses in my blog, and tell my visitors that I have taken it from you?
Have a nice day!
Lille Meg
thank you for your kind words... yes you can copy it into your blog if you wish...
Mimi
