Pray this Lazaroo in humbled dedication:

“They are…boastful…”
(Romans 1:29-30)

Boasting is hard to take, Jesus.

When somebody starts telling me how good they are
or goes on and on about what they’ve accomplished
or attempts to impress me with their important friends

I can hardly bear it.
I can’t wait for them to stop.

So why do I do it?

What makes me think others want to hear what I don’t?

Please forgive me!

I have no reason to boast about anything

but You.

Pray this Lazaroo from a heart filled with hope:

“…he was afraid…”
(Galatians 2:12)

I’d boast that I’m never afraid, Jesus

but I’m afraid that wouldn’t be true. 😉

What is true is…

I’m not afraid of some of the things that scare other people.

I know You’ve got my back

and my front
and my sides
and my top
and my…underneath carriage. 😉

But there’s one thing I am afraid of:

Disappointing You.

You’ve done so much for me!

All I want to bring You is joy.

Consider a course correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…so that no one can boast.”
(Ephesians 2:9)

What makes me want to boast, Jesus?

Is it because I worry that people don’t think highly enough of me

so I attempt to give them proof of my worth?

Or is it because I struggle so mightily with my own self-worth

that I boast in a futile attempt to convince myself?

Either way, people don’t like it.

Far more importantly, You don’t like it!

I’ve got to stop it.
