Lazaroo – Tuesday, July 2, 2013

3 comments, Jul 02, 2013


Open your heart and offer the words of this Lazaroo aloud to God:

“In my distress I called to the LORD…”
(Jonah 2:2)

I always try to thank You, Jesus…

when I can tell You’ve just helped me.

But I suspect I spend more time begging for help

than I do thanking You for it.

I wonder if my shortchanging the thanksgiving due You
has anything to do with how often I cry out for You to rescue me?

I’m not at all suggesting that You punish me with trouble
just because I don’t go on and on in gratitude to You.

I guess what I’m asking is…

does my failure to cultivate an attitude of gratitude
impoverish my faith?

If I spent more time thanking You for what You’ve done

would I relax a little more when trouble comes?

Would I be more likely to step back with a smile
knowing that just like all the other times…

You’ve got this.
