I found this little card in St. Clare’s in Coventry.
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, grey 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 in 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.
How often do we just rush into our day without asking our Lord for help?
Thank you, Father, for being there for us.
