Pray this Lazaroo with a searching heart:

“…took their places to praise the LORD…”

(Ezra 3:10)

Where’s my place to praise You, Jesus?

Oh, I know – You deserve to be praised everywhere

at all times.

But surely there are places

that I will praise You way more effectively than others.

Because there must be places that try though I might

my way of praising You would fall on deaf ears.

Even backfire.

Actually…

I think I’ve been to a few of those places.
