Pray this Lazaroo with antennae up:

“…if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people…”
(2 Peter 2:5)

I think I can see where this is going, Jesus.

You’re pointing out the punishment
You were forced to mete out years ago

to remind me that You’re the same
yesterday, today and forever.

Yes, You’re slow to anger.

But if I mistake Your loving patience for weakness

I will discover to my sorrow
that my sins will find me out.

Pray this Lazaroo in fierce confidence:

“…but there is a God in heaven…”
(Daniel 2:28)

That’s my comfort, Jesus!

You Exist. You’re real. You’re There.

You’re here!

When people misunderstand what I’m trying to do and berate me, this is why I can sit there and take it:

“Yeah, ‘…but there is a God in heaven!’”

When my enemies attack me and attempt to destroy me and the work I’m trying so hard to do for you, this is what keeps me plugging away:

“Yeah, ‘…but there is a God in heaven!’”

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes that see:

“…my beautiful one…”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

I’ve been told, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” Jesus

but ultimately there’s only One who beholds:

You.

The rest of us don’t really see – not the way You do.

We focus on the wrong things
ignore, overlook, misunderstand the right things.

There’s so much more to each person You’ve created

than we can see.

O God!

Open the eyes of my heart.

Enable me to see
what You see.

Face it…as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…words you cannot understand.”
(Ezekiel 3:6)

With more than a million words in the English language, Jesus

there are plenty I can’t understand.

With more than 6,500 spoken languages worldwide

the number of words I can’t understand is mind boggling.

It’s the words I do understand but don’t obey

that bother me.

Sure, there are some words in the Bible that I probably don’t truly grasp

but You make most of it so plain that misunderstanding

isn’t my problem.
