Consultant's Nightmare

January 20

My report is not coming together and it is due in the morning. I can’t find my notes. I pace. I slam draws. My wife softly urges prayer and sleep.

I am at my desk at 5 a.m. My mind is going a mile a minute. I’m recalling missing details. By seven my bible class prays for God's hand over my meeting. By ten I make my presentation to the executives of my client's organization.

The Spirit takes over the meeting. For every question raised someone else provides an answer. The hour ends with applause and handshakes. Go God.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6 NIV)
