Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it in terms of getting a reply or something else as soon as possible. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those hurried and stressful days along the way. As Lisa Englehardt wrote in her poem:

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.

It may 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.

— Lisa Englehardt
