Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“‘The Lord has done this for me,’ she said. ‘In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.’”
(Luke 1:25)

Few things are sweeter, Jesus –

than to look back at a wonderful thing that has just happened
and have it suddenly dawn on me…

it was You!

especially when the favor You showed me

was a long time coming

when I had prayed and prayed and prayed without discernible effect

and had pretty much concluded Your answer was:

“No.”

Only afterwards was I able to understand that it was all about Your perfect timing

not one day early
not one day late

that if You had given me what I wanted in the beginning

it wouldn’t have worked.

You know the prayers I’m still praying, Father.

What a day it will be
when I suddenly recognize

You did it again!
