The Difference

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 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.

Prayer is a vital part of a Christian's daily walk.

• With it there is no limit to the possibilities
• Without it there is no chance of success.

As in all relationships, communication is vital. Prayer is the way we communicate with God. It is a way to spend time with God. To talk, and listen to Him. Be honest with God. He knows you better than you know yourself, so there's little point in trying to pretend with Him. Confess your sins, and He will forgive you. Talk about your dreams for He wants to listen. Then take time to listen to Him and find out what plans He has for you. Prayer is the way we make sure that we're going the right way and enables us to face the future with certainty and hope.
