Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“Now Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let’s go out to the field.’ While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Where is your brother Abel?’ ‘I don’t know,’ he replied. ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’”
(Genesis 4:8-9)

Cain struck out, Jesus:

He deceived his brother.
He killed his brother.
He lied to God.

But I’ve struck out more times than Cain.

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but Your blood, my Jesus.

Pray this Lazaroo in deeper understanding:

“Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry…”
(Genesis 4:3-5)

When You correct me, Jesus

may I never react defensively.

Help me respond with a humble, passionate desire

to please You in everything I think, say and do.

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting anticipation:

“Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, ‘With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.’ Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.”
(Genesis 4:1-2)

And so the stage is set, Jesus.

It begins with joy
and ends with tragedy.

Two very different boys
two very different outcomes.

Only You know why life sometimes works this way

but one day, You’ll explain it all!
