Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…it has been granted to you…”
(Philippians 1:29)

I like to think of myself as somebody who’s earned it, Jesus

a person who works hard to get what I’ve got.

But that’s such a self-delusion!

Everything I have…am…know…do
has been granted.

My very self, life, parents, circumstances, gifts, experiences, emotions –

all are gifts from Your loving, generous hand.

Rather than bragging in self-congratulation

pounding my chest with off-putting pride

I should be humbled – filled to the brim with gratitude.
