A bench at the roadside

Isaiah 7:14

Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son and shall call him Emmanuel, God with us. 

​Four days to go, Lord.  There is so much to do, so many things to finish.  Some things not yet started.  Will I ever be ready.  It seems an impossible task.  No-one else seems to be working as hard as I am.  No-one else seems to think there is a problem.  I don’t think I can go on much longer. 

Four days to go, Lord.

Help me Lord.  Help me to stop and take a deep breath.  Help me to be aware that you are with me in my busy-ness.  Help me to be thankful that I have a reason to be busy.  I have things to do as we prepare to celebrate the birth of a very special child.  I have people I care enough about to want our celebrations to bring us together in joy.  

Help me to remember that, with you behind me, nothing is impossible.
