Pray this Lazaroo with your eyes fixed on Jesus:

“Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil…”
(3 John 1:11)

At first glance, Jesus

that seems like a no-brainer
like something You wouldn’t have to say.

Sadly, there’s a reason You have to say it –

a very sad, disgraceful, inexcusably awful reason:

We keep imitating what’s evil.
Monkey see…monkey do.

What are we thinking?

Maybe we’re thinking they got away with it…

so can I.

But they’re not going to get away with it!

Nor will I.

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.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.”
(Jonah 2:8)

Well, that’s just not an option for me, Jesus.

I need Your grace!

I don’t want what I deserve.

I know what I’ve “earned”
with my sin, shortcomings, rebellion, disobedience.

I’m doing my best to turn it around.
I’m giving it all I’ve got.

But what I’ve got
isn’t enough.

I still – inexcusably – mess up.

Which is why I so desperately
need Your grace.
