[Magdalen] Prayers - work stress

[Scott Knitter]

I'd like to request prayers that my work load might be lightened
somehow in a real way. The project I'm working on ramped up to high
intensity about a month before the deadline, and with three weeks to
go, it's constant, with nights and weekends. And I'm being asked to
spend Dec. 7-16 in Canada to help finish it up.

While that's all somewhat normal (a big project with lots of work to
do), it's been a lot more stress for a lot longer than usual. Glad the
people I'm working with are great folks, but eventually human beings
do need a break in the action and need to be able to take care of home
and family things too. I'm practically unchurched...had to miss the
last two Sundays, and will have to miss two in December.

I've already responded to the travel request asking if it could be
shorter and that I've got a partner with depression...while that
doesn't mean I can't go away, nine days is a bit long.

Just praying for an easing up of the load and some sort of break.
Maybe having shared my concern with a couple of colleagues will help.
The need for me to go to Canada is partly caused by another
colleague's not being able to travel at all. Surely there's someone
with no such challenges in the Canada location!

Thanks...Scott
