Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with bottomless trust:

“But the LORD said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am only a child.” You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.’”
(Jeremiah 1:7)

Help me understand this, LORD.

When Solomon told You he was “only a little child,” You were pleased with him.

In fact, Jesus –

You went so far as to say unless I change and become like a little child

I can’t even enter the kingdom of heaven.

But when Jeremiah told you he was only a child

You rebuked him.

Why?

Is it because You demand both from me –

the humility of a little child

who knows that apart from You

I can do nothing?

coupled with the fierce confidence of a warrior

who knows that in Your strength

I can do all things?

Look into my heart, Jesus:

Which of the two

do I most need today?
