Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“So I have caused you to be despised…”
(Malachi 2:9)

That’s a fearful thing, Jesus.

It’s one thing for people not to like me.
In that case, they might choose to leave me alone

…which is not always a bad thing.

But when people actually despise me?
They may be tempted to attack me

with things they say about me
things they may do to harm me.

May I never bring down that kind of curse on myself!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…Jesus Christ…will be with us…”
(2 John 1:3)

That’s what I have to know, Jesus –

that You’ll be with me.

I’m aware that’s backwards.

I’m the one who’s supposed to be following You.

And I am.
Imperfectly.

Which is why I need reassurance
when I mess up.

Because it’s when I’m outnumbered, overwhelmed, flat-out scared

that I have to be confident You’ll never leave me alone.

But that’s the secret, isn’t it?

You’re with me
when I’m with You.
