Pray this Lazaroo in desperate transparency:

“…the fool walks in the darkness…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:14)

I’ve taken more than one of those dark walks, Jesus

Didn’t enjoy it.
Felt like the fool I was.

I don’t want to do that anymore!

With every step I take, I long to walk in Your Light.
I long to see clearly, act wisely.

But only You can rescue me from the wrong choices that will inevitably shroud my path in the blindness known all too well

by God-ignoring fools.

Pray this Lazaroo in self-awareness:

“…he deceives himself…”
(James 1:26)

Is this the worst kind of deception, Jesus?

If not, it’s awfully close.

When somebody else deceives me, it’s tough enough

but at least I can identify the culprit
evaluate how I got duped
learn from my mistake.

But when I deceive myself I’ve got no one else to blame.

It’s much tougher to admit I’m the culprit

You’re my only hope, Holy Spirit!

Open my eyes
wise me up

Protect me from myself.
