New Burden

Today I found out I'm losing my job, 
the news took my breath away; 
What am I going to do for employment? 
my bills how am I going to pay? 
I have one week to make a plan, 
and find something new to do; 
Two weeks before Christmas, 
these words have left me blue. 
Lord I kneel down before you, 
in honest heartfelt prayer; 
Please guide me where you want me to go, 
please help with this new burden I bare.
