Pray this Lazaroo, overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, ‘I will destroy you, and none will be left.’”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

It’s one thing to be defeated in battle, Jesus

to be shamed and disgraced
taken captive, reduced to slavery.

But this time it was worse.

The Philistines so infuriated You with their blatant idolatry
that You threatened to annihilate them

leaving no survivors.

That’s what my sins deserve.

But instead of wrath –

through the cross –

You’ve offered me mercy!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…your soul is getting along well.”
(3 John 1:2)

If only that were true, Jesus!

Oh, I’m not registering a complaint against You

My complaint
is against me.

You’ve been better than good to me.
You’ve never treated me as my sins deserve.
You’ve given me opportunities beyond counting

so why have I done so little with it?

While You and I do enjoy one another, I know this:

In Your strength
I’ve got to step up my game.
