Pray this Lazaroo in total adoration:

“All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.”
(Psalms 6:10)

Quite a promise, Jesus.

Not just a few of David’s enemies will be suddenly overwhelmed and turn back with shame and anguish.

All of them.

Just in case I have any enemies, LORD…

how can I get in on a promise like that?

Oh.

David loved and served You passionately

then wept and cried out to You.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Who told you that you were naked?”
(Genesis 3:11)

It wasn’t You, was it, Jesus?

It was listening to Satan and eating the forbidden fruit
that caused Adam and Eve to feel naked.

Of course, nothing about their appearance had changed.

They weren’t wearing clothes before their disobedience.

But here’s the thing:

Until they sinned, being unclothed didn’t bother them.
It was sin against You that brought shame.

As always.

Only in You

is my shame taken away.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Solomon began to build…”
(2 Chronicles 3:1)

I’ve begun a few things myself, Jesus

though I haven’t always finished.

It’s painful to start something, full of hope and promise

only to run into an obstacle
I’m not willing to pay the price to overcome.

That kind of shame and embarrassment

tempts me to not start anything
so I’ll never fail.

But that’s not true, is it?

The one failure bigger than failing to finish
is failing to try.
