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!

Cling to God’s promises, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Before them…the sky trembles.”
(Joel 2:10)

Those are some fearsome creatures You created, Jesus!

Punishment You inflicted on Your own people –
a terrifying swarm of supernatural locusts.

No wonder the very sky trembled!

But if I tremble before You –

terrified to sin against Your greatness, majesty, love and wisdom –

I’ll never have to tremble because of Your punishment.

Sadly, I’ve failed at that in the past

and experienced Your loving discipline…

which steered me all the way back

to You.
