ASAP

Have you ever wondered about the abbreviation ASAP? It generally means even more hurry and stress in our already overly busy lives. As Soon As Possible -- in other words, it needs to be done now, even though we don't possibly have time to do it because we're already busy with armfuls of other important things. But, if we think of this abbreviation in a different way, we can find a new and better way to handle those rough, over-scheduled times in our lives.

ASAP

There's work to do, deadlines to meet;
You've got no time to spare,
But as you hurry and scurry --
ASAP: ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
In the midst of family chaos,
'Quality time' is rare.
Do your best; let God do the rest --
ASAP: ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
It may seem like your worries
Are more than you can bear.
Slow down and take a breather --
ASAP: ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
God knows how stressful life is;
He wants to ease our cares,
And He'll respond ASAP
If we ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

Come to me, all you are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
