Pray this Lazaroo in self-awareness:

“…he deceives himself…”
(James 1:26)

Is this the worst kind of deception, Jesus?

If not, it’s awfully close.

When somebody else deceives me, it’s tough enough

but at least I can identify the culprit
evaluate how I got duped
learn from my mistake.

But when I deceive myself I’ve got no one else to blame.

It’s much tougher to admit I’m the culprit

You’re my only hope, Holy Spirit!

Open my eyes
wise me up

Protect me from myself.
