Did You Think To Pray?**


What do you do to start the Day?
What routine allows you to be on your way?
What important task must be done,
before you can face the day's rising sun?

Do you sleep as long as you possibly can,
leaving not a minute with which to plan,
trying to catch up to time that was lost,
your frantic hurrying a stressful cost.

Did you think to pray at the start of your day,
to calmly acknowledge what God has to say?
Did you think to pray as your mind awakes,
asking God for the strength the day will take?

Since each day has its weight to bare,
start it in the presence of a God who cares,
and your frantic search for time to spare,
will become moments much easier to bare.
                          ***
Psalm 88:13  "I cry to you for help, O Lord;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
