Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with sober determination:

“Then Joab returned from pursuing Abner and assembled all his men. Besides Asahel, nineteen of David’s men were found missing. But David’s men had killed three hundred and sixty Benjamites who were with Abner.”
(2 Samuel 2:30-31)

Thank You, Jesus for promising me victory

and delivering on Your promise.

You’ve done it so often that even when it feels like defeat

I know it isn’t.

All I have to do is wait.
Victory is on the way.

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be

terrible
heartbreaking

incomprehensible losses..

Some tragedies I experience have at least some rationale to them.

Maybe it was something I brought on myself.
Maybe I can detect a silver lining in the dark cloud.

But other defeats appear to have absolutely no rhyme nor reason.

So when those blow up in my face
the only comfort I have is knowing

You…I can trust.
