Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.”
(Proverbs 3:11-12)

I don’t like to be disciplined, Jesus.

It’s upsetting to realize You’re disappointed in me!

As a result, my immaturity is showing, isn’t it?

I should welcome Your correction.
It’s a chance to learn, grow, improve.

It’s evidence that You love me –
that in me You find delight!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon: 

“I will bring distress on the people…”
(Zephaniah 1:17)

May I never be among the people on whom You bring distress, Jesus!

Something tells me Yours would be worse
than the distress I’ve sometimes brought on myself.

Seeing what You’ve done to others who’ve dared to defy You

has given me a healthy fear of deliberately crossing You.

I have absolutely no doubt that You love me.
Passionately.

But I’m also aware
that You discipline those You love.
