Pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo, with growing gratitude to God:

“I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him…”
(1 Timothy 1:16)

“Unlimited patience.”

Not exactly my strong suit, Jesus.

I get so frustrated with people who don’t have their act together!

with politicians who overpromise

and underperform

with medical researchers
who still haven’t found a cure for

cancer
heart disease
Downs
Sickle Cell Anemia
Attention Deficit Disorder
the common cold
male pattern baldness

with financial wizards who still haven’t fixed

the stock market
the economy
the tax system

with social workers mired down in

poverty
the welfare system

with counselors who can’t eliminate

addictions
mental illness

with spiritual leaders who keep exhibiting

the sins they preach against.

Maybe I need a supernatural injection of the

“unlimited patience”

You keep showing me.
