Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with all your heart, soul, mind and strength:

“I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me…”
(Habakkuk 2:1)

I’ve been at my watch a long time, Jesus

stationing myself on the ramparts
(whatever those are).

Actually, I can guess what they are.

They’re my little wall of defense, aren’t they?
Totally inadequate…

but they’re all I’ve got
except for You.

Sometimes I think the defenses I’ve erected
are like Hollywood stage props

painted on canvas to look real and strong
but so flimsy that when tested

a child could push them over.

So here I am, standing at my watch

stationing myself on the concealed ladder
that props up my fake ramparts

looking…straining…longing…begging…
to see what You will say to me.

I don’t know how much longer I can hold out!

but I will
I must

…till I hear Your voice.
