Inspiring quote from a Christian Postcard \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

I got up early one morning
\nand rushed right into the day;
\nI had so much to accomplish
\nthat I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have time to pray.
\nProblems just tumbled about me,
\nand heavier came each task.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t God help me?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nI wondered,
\nHe answered, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ask\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
\nbut the day toiled on grey and bleak.
\nI wondered why God didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t show me,
\nHe said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seek\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
\nI tried to come into God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presence;
\nI used all my keys at the lock.
\nGod gently and lovingly chided,
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153My child, you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t knock\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

I woke up early this morning,
\nand passed before entering the day;
\nI had so much to accomplish
\nthat I had to take time to pray.<\/p>\n

Have a blessed week ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
