Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

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

No one can do a better job of that than You, Jesus.

When others try to humiliate me, they fail –
unless they have Your go-ahead.

They don’t know me well enough to thoroughly humiliate me.

But You do.

If I mistake Your blessings to suppose that I’m better than everyone else

You can diminish me to a speck of dirt
faster than I can pound my chest a second time.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…it has been granted to you…”
(Philippians 1:29)

I like to think of myself as somebody who’s earned it, Jesus

a person who works hard to get what I’ve got.

But that’s such a self-delusion!

Everything I have…am…know…do
has been granted.

My very self, life, parents, circumstances, gifts, experiences, emotions –

all are gifts from Your loving, generous hand.

Rather than bragging in self-congratulation

pounding my chest with off-putting pride

I should be humbled – filled to the brim with gratitude.
