Lazaroo – Friday, February 17, 2012

Feb 17, 2012 I Lazaroo.

 

Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, from the depths of your grateful soul:

“God handed the Hagrites and all their allies over to them, because they cried out to him during the battle.”
(1 Chronicles 5:20)

Hear my cry, Jesus.
Hear my cry.

I’m in the battle!
The fighting all around me is fierce.

Everywhere I turn, there’s a new attack.
The forces arrayed against me are overwhelming.

My only hope is You.

But when I’m tempted to throw up my hands in surrender
I suddenly remember I’m not alone in this battle.

This is Your battle.
You’re fighting it with me.

The moment I cry out in panic

I realize You never left my side.

So why do I get like this?

It’s because I forget, don’t I?

You’re always with me
in me.

I have to cry out

not to get Your attention
not to persuade You to run to my rescue

but to remind myself

You’re here.
