Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…seek humility…
(Zephaniah 2:3)

Won’t have to seek long, Jesus.

If I’m genuinely looking for humility I’m gonna find it

in the blessings I don’t deserve

in the skills I don’t possess
to accomplish what I desire

in the sins I’ve committed
too many times to count

in the reality that I didn’t put myself here.
You created me, sustain me, own me.

So, yeah.

If I’m truly on the lookout for humility
it’ll hit me smack dab between the eyes.

Pray this Lazaroo in spiritual sobriety:

“…you have destroyed…cities…”
(Habakkuk 2:8)

The mistake I make, Jesus

(among many others)

is in focusing on the evil that Satan and his minions have done

rather than on the reality of what You will do in response
when the times have reached their fulfillment.

I see too small a section of the puzzle

to be able to fathom how You’re piecing it all together.

So what am I left with, Father?

Trust.
Rock-solid trust.

In the end
You win.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…to present you…free from accusation.”
(Colossians 1:22)

It’s one thing to be clean in Your sight, Jesus.

You know when I’m guilty and when I’m not.

But to think there’s coming a day when I will be free from all accusation –

even coming from those who are accusation specialists?

Wow.

That place must be…heaven! 🙂

But the reality is

the only reason I’m innocent is because You say so –

all my sins eradicated –

by Your sacrifice on the cross.
