Pray this Lazaroo in forgiving awareness:

“I would be asleep and at rest…”
(Job 3:13)

Job thinks that’s what being dead is like, Jesus.

He also thinks it’s better than being alive right now.

Plagued by the loss of his family, health, reputation, fortune

unconsciousness seems preferable.

Of course, that’s not what death is.

Even Job knew that!

But when we’re in pain

most of us tend to say things we don’t mean.

Help me remember that

next time someone goes off on me.
