Pray this Lazaroo in no-holds-barred surrender:

“…she asked for nothing other than what Hegai…suggested.”
(Esther 2:15)

It’s hard to get there, Jesus…

…asking for nothing

other than what somebody who knows recommends.

The problem is…
I think I know.

The even greater problem is –

although this isn’t always the case –

sometimes I’m right and the experienced person is wrong.

So when do I take advice
and when do I ignore it?

How do I discern between wisdom
and egotism?

You know.
Please let me in on it.

 Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion: 

“ ‘I have one request’…’You may make it,’ she said.”
(1 Kings 2:16)

It’s one thing to let someone make a request, Jesus

quite another to grant it.

The moment Bathsheba allowed Adonijah to make his request, she felt obligated to say yes.

Needlessly.

In this case, foolishly.

Please remind me to separate the two!

Please give me the wisdom to discern among

good
better
best.

along with the courage to reject

every request
that isn’t best.
