Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed. When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him…”
(Mark 3:6-8)

In the face of these threats, Jesus

You didn’t stay and fight.
You simply went somewhere else and stayed on mission.

Please show me when that is exactly the response

You want me to have.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful wisdom:

“…he withdrew…”
(Matthew 2:22)

There’s a time for that, isn’t there, Jesus?

in spite of the fact that I prefer to go forward.

It makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something
like I’m making progress.

But sometimes I venture into waters too deep

onto land whose “No Trespassing!” signs I’ve overlooked.

It’s not that You can’t enable me to do absolutely anything.

It’s that there’s a right time for everything

including a time – as Joseph discovered –

to withdraw.
