Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with laser-focused intensity:

“How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will…fools hate knowledge?”
(Proverbs 1:22)

Good question, Jesus.

Not just for those fools “out there.”

For this one, right here.

I don’t have to tell You this isn’t false modesty.

This is my reality.
This is my struggle.

Every time I choose the wrong crowd

I’m a fool.

Every time I color the truth

I’m a fool.

Every time I imagine my way is better than Your way

I’m a fool.

Every time I despise Your discipline

I’m a fool.

Every time I become complacent

I’m a fool.

Every time I blurt out something I’ve heard without considering who it might hurt

I’m a fool.

My only hope is this:

Since You’ve chosen the foolish things of this world to shame the wise…

help me risk everything

to be a fool for You.
