Were you too busy this morning

to quietly stop and pray ?

Did you hurry and drink your coffee

then frantically rush away,

Consoling yourself by saying

God will always be there

Waiting to hear my petitions,

ready to answer each prayer ?



It's true that the great, generous Savior

forgives our transgressions each day

And patiently waits for lost sheep

who constantly seem to stray,

But moments of prayer once omitted

in the busy rush fo the day

can never again be recaptured,

for they silently slip away.



Strenght is gained in the morning

to endure the trials of the day

When we visit with God in person

in a quiet and unhurried way.

For only through prayer that's unhurried

can the needs of the day be met

And only in prayers said at evening

can we sleep without fears or regret.



For all of our errors and failures

that we made in the course of the day

Are freely forgiven at nightime

when we kneel down and earnestly pray.

So seek the Lord in the morning

and never forget him at night.

For prayer is an unfailing blessing

that makes every burden seem light.
