Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…I looked for him but did not find him.”
(Song of Songs 3:2)

Frustrating, Jesus!

When there’s somebody I need to see
somebody I want to spend time with
somebody with whom I need to talk things through 

it’s truly upsetting not to know where they are.

But I’ve got to trust You, don’t I?

to show me if I need to look harder
or if the time to find them

hasn’t yet arrived.

Maybe what I really need

is to look to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.”
(Proverbs 3:11-12)

I don’t like to be disciplined, Jesus.

It’s upsetting to realize You’re disappointed in me!

As a result, my immaturity is showing, isn’t it?

I should welcome Your correction.
It’s a chance to learn, grow, improve.

It’s evidence that You love me –
that in me You find delight!
