Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…just as the Father commanded us.”
(2 John 1:4)

Not the opposite of what the Father commanded me, Jesus.

Not approximately

but just as I’ve been commanded by my heavenly Father.

Nothing less will do.

The problem arises, of course

when I discover through repeated trial and error
that I’m not that good.

I can’t pull it off.

That doesn’t mean I stop trying…

but it leaves me hopelessly head-over heels in debt
to Your loving, boundless mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Will they not…make you tremble?”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

Many things bother me, Jesus

but only one thing makes me tremble:

displeasing You.

In You I need fear nothing and no one else.

But because of Your great love for me
Your forgiveness, mercy, protection

it would devastate me to think that in some way

I might disappoint You.

Don’t let that happen, Holy Spirit!

If I start to take even one step in that direction
please, please!

Let me know.

Open your heart to the love of God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.”
(1 John 2:9)

Apparently…

hating my brother is not something You approve, Jesus

seeing as how You not only died for me

but also my brother.

Last time I checked

fathers don’t take too kindly
to those who hate their children.

What do I do with these negative emotions?

Please!

Teach me to love them
with the love You have for me.
