Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with unvarnished honesty:

“You must speak my words to them…”
(Ezekiel 2:7)

I may as well confess it, Jesus:

I tend to prefer my own words to Yours.

Oh, not officially!

My theology’s right.
I know Your words are far superior to mine.

I was just being honest –

something I may as well be with You
since You always know the truth about me

before I do.

So now that I’ve confessed what You already know
will you please tell me something else You already know?

Why am I like this?
Why do I keep preferring my words to Yours?

Is it because Your words are often counterintuitive?

So many times what I think is up
You say is down.

Or is it because I fear what people will think of me if I hold fast to Your Word?

If that’s it, I’d better think twice
so You’ll hold fast

to me.
