Pray this Lazaroo with horror:

“So they stood up and were counted off – “
(2 Samuel 2:15)

Sometimes it’s good to stand up and be counted, Jesus.

But not this time.

Because of the arrogance of their commanding officers

every one of these soldiers was about to die.

When the cause is just, I’m willing to stand up and be counted

even if it costs me my life.

But when ego, blindness or stupidity are afoot

please give me the wisdom to stay seated.

Pray this Lazaroo in no-holds-barred surrender:

“…she asked for nothing other than what Hegai…suggested.”
(Esther 2:15)

It’s hard to get there, Jesus…

…asking for nothing

other than what somebody who knows recommends.

The problem is…
I think I know.

The even greater problem is –

although this isn’t always the case –

sometimes I’m right and the experienced person is wrong.

So when do I take advice
and when do I ignore it?

How do I discern between wisdom
and egotism?

You know.
Please let me in on it.
