Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, shaking your head in wonder:

“‘So then, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can interpret it for me.’ The astrologers answered the king, ‘There is not a man on earth who can do what the king asks!’”
(Daniel 2:9-10)

What a setup, Jesus.

You’ve done it in my life
more times than I can count.

You let me do whatever I wish

until I paint myself into a corner.

Suddenly, I have nowhere to go.

Can’t climb the walls behind me
can’t leap over the wet paint in front of me.

My back to the wall

I slowly slide down

to my knees.

Only then do I realize what happens to be true all the time:

You’re my only hope.

Unless you intervene

I’m stuck.

If You don’t perform a miracle

it’s all over.

I hate being in that position!

But it’s when You –

and I –

are at our best.
