Surrender to God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to you who live by the sea…”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

At first glance, that comes as a surprise, Jesus.

Oceanfront homes are highly sought-after.

But not if You curse it!

A home by the sea is vulnerable to hurricanes

to unusually high tides
to tsunamis.

Depending on how isolated

perhaps even to burglary
…or worse.

In fact, no home is safe

without Your protection.

Plant me wherever You want me, Father!

Wherever I can receive
Your incomparable, undeserved blessing.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“…take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel…”
(Matthew 2:20)

It’s hard to imagine You like that, Jesus –

small…vulnerable.

But that’s how You wanted to come to earth:

the same way every one of us does.

Well…almost. šŸ˜‰

Except that Your mother was a virgin.

You wanted to feel what we feel, experience what we experience

so that when we cry out to You about how hard it is

You can reply:

“I know.”

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…they realized they were naked…”
(Genesis 3:7)

That’s…quite a realization, Jesus.

It’s not that they didn’t know what they looked like before.
It’s just that now, they felt vulnerable, embarrassed, ashamed.

What a loss!

But then, that’s what sin always does.
It promises much, delivers little.

Actually…that’s only partially true.

It never delivers what was promised

but it does dump on the sinner a ton!

…of heartache, disillusionment and pain.

Satan keeps selling

but this time
I’m not buying.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“My dove in the clefts of the rock…”
(Song of Songs 2:14)

Solomon is referring to his wife, Jesus

but what he says about doves is true.

They’re beautiful, gentle…vulnerable.

They hide in the clefts of the rock
to remain unseen by predators –

like foxes, dogs, bobcats, coyotes, weasels
…and man.

If that’s the case

please hide this dove in the clefts of the rock, Father!

and cover me there with Your hand.
and cover me there with Your hand.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered humility:

“Wisdom will save you…from the wayward wife…who has left the partner of her youth…”
(Proverbs 2:12, 16-17)

There’s not a man alive who doesn’t need that wisdom, Jesus

not a wife who doesn’t need Your help
to keep from becoming that woman.

The more conscientiousĀ the person

the less worried they are it will happen to them
the more vulnerable they becomeĀ to Satan’s trap.

Better people than I have fallen!

Don’t allow me
to let down my guard.
