Pray the words of this Lazaroo with bottomless trust: 

“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.”
(Romans 1:26)

I’ve gotta ask, Jesus…

Why do You do that?

Why give us over to shameful lusts?
Why not keep us from giving in to them?

It’s because we’re not robots, isn’t it?
You’ve given us a glorious/awful gift:

the freedom of choice.

So when we keep insisting we want something You tell us not to do

You let us have it

until we choke on it
until it burns us so badly

that in sincere, heartfelt repentance we turn back to You.
