Pray this Lazaroo with steely-eyed determination:

“From now on…”
(Luke 1:48)

There’s not one blessed thing I can do about the past, Jesus.

No matter how desperately I wish I could change some things

I can’t.

I dare not buy Satan’s lies

telling me it’s too late to turn it around
or tempting me to coast on my past wins.

That was then.
This is now.

It’s not about what I did, said, thought.

It’s all about what I’m doing, saying, thinking

from now on.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…from this day on…”
(Haggai 2:15)

That’s all I can do, Jesus –

“from this day on.”

Although I can learn from it

I can’t change the past

Although I can anticipate it

I can’t jump ahead to tomorrow.

Not yet.

If anything is going to change it has to start

with this day.

It’s tempting to put it off till tomorrow.

But if I do, this day
becomes that day

otherwise known as procrastination

because that day
seldom comes.
