THE MEANING OF A.S.A.P.
Have you ever seen the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Have you ever wondered what it means? Generally, we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way.
There's work to do, deadlines to meet;
You've got no time to spare,
But as you hurry and scurry-
A.S.A.P. - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER
In the midst of family chaos,
"Quality time " is rare.
Do your best; let God do the rest-
A.S.A.P. - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
Imay seem like your worries
Are more than you can bear.
Slow down and take a breather-
A.S.A.P. - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER
God knows how stressful life is;
He wants to ease our cares,
And He'll respond to all your needs
A.S.A.P. - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
The Apostle Paul would have certainly appreciated this, especially considering what all he had to say about diligence in prayer. Consider the following: “…In everything, by prayer…” (Phil. 4:6); we are to “pray without ceasing” (I Thess. 5:17); and also to “pray in the Spirit on all occasions” (Eph. 6:18). Yes, brothers, and sisters, we must be willing to “Always Say A Prayer”!
Note: The poem appears all over the internet, but apparently originated with Abbey Press, as is attested to at: http://www.beliefnet.com/Inspiration/2000/11/The-True-Meaning-Of-A-S-A-P.aspx. The actual author is unknown to me.
