Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“Does a lion…growl in his den when he has caught nothing?”
(Amos 3:4)

I guess not, Jesus.

He’d be out hunting
not back at home bragging about his kill.

Y’know…

I’d just as soon not give any lions an excuse to growl
over my dead carcass.

I’m aware that Satan prowls about like a roaring lion

looking for someone to devour.

I’d just as soon that not be me.

To make sure that never happens
I’m staying close to You

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Lions have roared…”
(Jeremiah 2:15)

That’s a terrifying thing, Jesus.

I can imagine how an innocent gazelle
quenching her thirst from a peaceful brook must feel
when that sound comes from the brush behind.

The reason I can imagine it

is that I’ve been stalked by lions of a different sort –
people intent on bringing me down.

But just when fear is about to immobilize me

I remember You, the Lion of Judah

whose ultimate roar
drowns theirs out.
