Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“…not to put it too severely.”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

That’s a decent goal, Jesus.

Even when someone has a rebuke coming
there’s no point in overdoing it.

When they’re already down, busted and bleeding
why pile on?

Whether they admit it or not, they usually know they’ve blown it.

It doesn’t help when I make them feel worse
than they already do.

Besides, You’ve warned me:

What goes around, comes around.

Severe criticism is a seed

I’d rather not reap.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“She also gave some to her husband, who was with her…”
(Genesis 3:6)

So much for Adam being the innocent party, Jesus.

The guy was right there, keeping his mouth shut

until he took a bite.

Talk about no excuse!

He knew better.
But he didn’t do better.

However…even as I shake my head in judgment

I know someone else who has pulled the same stunt
time and time and time again:

Moi.

Help me, dear God!

Please.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…now I would be lying down in peace…”
(Job 3:13)

Job is talking about his death, Jesus

imagining himself lying buried
free of pain and heartache.

But that wasn’t what Job really believed!

He knew that death was the passing from this world
to his eternity in the next.

He knew he would one day stand before You
and give an account of his one and only life.

Dear God!

May I never – ever! – forget that one overriding truth.
