Pray this Lazaroo in confident desperation:

“His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength. He says to himself, ‘God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.’ Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.”
(Psalm 10:10-12)

There are times when I feel helpless, Jesus.

This is one of them.

But I’m not helpless, am I?

Not so long as I have You.

And that’s a long time!

Because You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“…human pride brought low…”
(Isaiah 2:11)

There’s a kind of pride that is good, wholesome, healthy, Jesus.

It’s being proud of You.
It’s being proud of what You do.
It’s being proud of what You enable others to do.

But human pride takes no notice of You.

Human pride puffs itself up
boasting that all its achievements come from itself.

Godly pride points to the heavens to acknowledge You.

Human pride pounds on its own chest

until it collapses.
