Lazaroo – Thursday, November 19, 2009

Pray this Lazaroo aloud to God, with all your heart, soul, mind and strength:
“But this is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘They may build, but I will demolish.’”
(Malachi 1:4)
My Jesus!
How much have I built
that You have had to demolish?
Plans.
Hopes.
Dreams.
Strategies.
Relationships.
So much of the time I was so focused on what I was building
that I forgot to pay enough attention to what I was building on.
What a waste.
I’m bone weary of building on sand, Jesus!
By Your grace
from now on
I’ll build on Rock.
I’ll start with You.
I’ll go to Your Word.
I’ll fast and pray.
And with trembling lips, I’ll ask:
What do You want me to do?
Where do You want me to go?
How do You want me to go about it?
With whom do You want me to do it?
When do You want me to get started?
And in Your strength
I will obey.

Greetings; Is it a blessing Jesus? A blessing that you undo what I do.Do You see something that I do not? Are You protecting me Jesus from going down with the sand?In this verse,God seems to be tearing down what evil men are attempting to build.Never the less,I have built,attempted to build,situations in my life that have come to waste.Plans that have washed away with the sand.Forgive me Jesus,Thank you for washing away these unhealthy plans & dreams.Help me Jesus,help me be all that you want me to be.Give me wisdom Lord,wisdom to build on solid rock-Amen.
