Settle down in total trust, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“…we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way…”
(Colossians 1:10)

That’s going to take a heap of prayer, Jesus.

How am I going to please You in every way?

I’m still working on pleasing You in just one or two ways –
deliberately focusing on those areas where I’m strongest.

How could I ever begin to please You
where I’m weakest?

Still…You’re the God who can do anything.

If You speak it –

it happens.

But maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree.
Maybe it’s not perfection that pleases You.

After all, You can – and do – create perfection anytime You wish.

So what is it about me –

sin-ridden, deeply flawed, far-from-perfect me –

that could possibly please You in every way?

Unless it’s the same thing that pleases any Godly parent –

seeing me give You everything I’ve got.
