Pray this Lazaroo with transparency:

“I said in my heart…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

If I say it in my heart

that’s where it counts, Jesus –
the place where only You can see.

Some of the things I say with my lips

don’t really reflect what’s in my heart.

I don’t mean to be a hypocrite.

I don’t want to be a person
who pretends to be someone I’m not.

But not everything that’s in my heart

is safe to say out loud
or wise.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful peace:

“They…put its doors and bolts and bars in place.”
(Nehemiah 3:6)

It’s a shame to have to do that to a door, Jesus.

Doors are meant to keep out the cold and heat
provide easy passage in and out.

But evil lurks outside every door:

thieves, rapists, murderers.

So to the beauty of a massive city door

they were forced to add bolts and bars.

I’m forced to do the same

while knowing only You
can keep me safe.
