Pray this Lazaroo in humbled repentance:

“Anyone who runs ahead…”
(2 John 1:9)

It’s hard to admit, Jesus

but I’ve been guilty of running ahead.

Inexcusably, I got tired of waiting on You.

After praying, I expected an immediate answer.

I gave no thought to Your superior understanding –

that compared to You, I was totally clueless.

So I went ahead with what I thought was best

only to discover to my sorrow

that anyone who runs ahead of Your perfect way and time

ends up running way, waaaaay behind.

Pray this Lazaroo in painful recognition:

“…the lust of the eyes…”
(1 John 2:16)

When you use that word, “lust,” Jesus

it makes it hard to admit.

Oh, sure – there are certain things I see and would like to have

but I wouldn’t call what I’m feeling “lust.”

What sobers me, however, is this haunting question:

Is “lust” what You call it?

If You do
then that’s what it is.

I have this tendency to regard the sins I commit as minor.

But do You?
