Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks;
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (I Thessalonians 5:17-18).
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, "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.
Lord, help us not be so busy that we don't take time to pray.
Teach us how to pray without ceasing. As we pray, always
let us be aware of at least one person we can pray for to
come to know You and Your plan of salvation.
