Proceed with confidence, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand.”
(2 Corinthians 1:13)

That’s good to know, Jesus.

Because sometimes when I open my Bible and start to read
I don’t understand.

Thankfully, most of what I read in Your Word is pretty straightforward.

All I have to do is believe.

But frankly, some of the things I read

baffle me
worry me
upset me
anger me

scare me

On top of that, some of the things I hear preached, taught, or written about Your Word

make me go, “Huh?”

I’m never quite sure if they’ve got it wrong

or I’m just stupid.

I want to be teachable, LORD…

but You’ve warned me to watch out for false teachers.

I know You’ve promised to walk me through all this.

But I can’t just be a reader of Your Word, can I?
You actually expect me

to study.
