Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Does a trap spring up from the ground if it has not caught anything?”
(Amos 3:5)

I think I can answer that one, Jesus:

No. Not usually.

If my own sin has trapped me, show me exactly where I’ve misstepped

so I can repent, stop doing it and escape!

But if You’re the one who’s put me in a position where I can’t move

in order to get my attention and teach me something?

You’ve succeeded.
I’m all ears.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there?”
(Amos 3:5)

No, Jesus.

Birds aren’t that stupid.

But we Your people sometimes are.

Even though You’ve warned us repeatedly of the dangers of sin
we keep swooping down into Satan’s traps.

Your Word is full of advice, cautions, horrific accounts

but it’s as though we ignore all the signs:

STOP!
DANGER!
BRIDGE OUT!

because we think we know better than do You.
