Embattled

Lord,
The Aussie, T and I
Are having a really hard time
With the job these days.

We have new staff members
Struggling to learn,
Struggling with stepping into
Huge workloads they're unprepared for,
And battling personal tribulations.

We have people who are out -
Seasoned people who have been
Removed from the playing field
Due to family problems,
Or getting themselves fired. 

We have technology snafus,
Personality flare-ups,
Bad attitudes and blatant disrespect
Running rampant on the floor.

I hear about it second hand,
But it is like I am there in Brooklyn,
Experiencing it. 

Lord,
We need help.
We need you to reach down
And touch EVERYTHING
So that hearts and minds are changed,
So that people stop catching attitude,
So that mechanical operations stop failing,
So that newspapers can start performing
And everyone can get back to the business at hand!

Really, Lord,
We're all stretched too thin,
And we seek You
To alleviate us
Of some of what burdens us.

Please help us,
ALL of us,
As we try to push through
This difficult time. 
We feel threadbare.
O Lord,
Restore us!
