Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.”
(Ephesians 3:13)

It’s hard not to be discouraged by suffering, Jesus

especially when it’s happening to me, personally.

But that wasn’t why Paul was suffering.

He was suffering for others!

O God.

Grow me up in my faith.
Give me Paul’s compassion for others!

Correction: That’s not Paul’s compassion.

That kind of compassion
comes straight from You

proven 2,000 years ago
on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep thought:

“We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature…”
(1 Corinthians 2:6)

Interesting, Jesus.

All people need wisdom.
The immature as well as the mature.

But there’s a lot of wisdom that the immature can’t handle.

Wisdom isn’t bound by illusion.
The immature, however, find it hard to give theirs up.

Wisdom isn’t guided by political correctness.
The immature are unduly influenced by the crowd.

Am I ready to embrace Your wisdom, Father?

Please.
Grow me up.
