Surrender to God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to you who live by the sea…”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

At first glance, that comes as a surprise, Jesus.

Oceanfront homes are highly sought-after.

But not if You curse it!

A home by the sea is vulnerable to hurricanes

to unusually high tides
to tsunamis.

Depending on how isolated

perhaps even to burglary
…or worse.

In fact, no home is safe

without Your protection.

Plant me wherever You want me, Father!

Wherever I can receive
Your incomparable, undeserved blessing.

Pray this Lazaroo with all due diligence:

“Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.”
(Matthew 3:3)

At first glance, Jesus

this doesn’t make sense to me.

I thought You were the one
who made straight paths for me!

But now…maybe I better understand.

You expect me to do everything in my power
to straighten out my own life.

No, I can’t do it without You…

but neither are You going to do everything for a lazy person
who makes absolutely no effort.
