Pray this Lazaroo with laser focus:

“But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.”
(James 1:25)

So let me get this straight, Jesus:

If I intend to experience sweet success
I dare not read my Bible aimlessly.

Instead, You want me to read it with singleness of purpose –
to discover exactly how You want me to live

then live it.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Wisdom…will save you also from the adulteress…”
(Proverbs 2:12, 16)

There are a lot of people who need that kind of wisdom, Jesus…

certainly, the man who is tempted to cheat on his wife needs it
but so does the wife of the man who is tempted to cheat
the husband of the woman who’s a cheater
the children and/or grandchildren of both couples
their friends and relatives who see what is happening

and desperately beg You to intervene.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…the children God has given me.”
(Hebrews 2:13)

I’m so thankful to be one of those children God has given You, Jesus!

but I suspect on some days
I’m a lot happier about that than You are.

After all, You have to deal with my…issues.

Yes, You love me – with a fierce strength I cannot begin to comprehend.

But the bottom line is:

I get You…
and You get me.

Wow.

You sure got the short end of this deal.

Pray this Lazaroo with redoubled incentive:

“You destroy those who tell lies…”
(Psalms 5:6)

You don’t exactly beat around the bush, Jesus.

You refuse to tolerate liars.

Do I ever identify!

The thing about liars is
there’s no way to tell exactly what’s going on.

After I talk with one of them

I know even less than I did before.

Just knowing how You feel about them is comforting –

not to mention motivating.

The last thing I want to be

is one of their number.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.”
(Philemon 1:16)

It doesn’t matter how obnoxious some of Your people are, Jesus

or how many times they sin, get up and sin again.

Anyone who has put their faith in You – no matter how weak –

is my brother, my sister.

Because You died for them and they belong to You

You expect them to be dear to me.

Pray this Lazaroo in drop-jawed awe:

“…those who are ready to rouse Leviathan…”
(Job 3:8)

I’ve never seen Leviathan, Jesus

but Your Word makes it clear:
I wouldn’t want to rouse him!

Thanks to You, this sea monster You created

is now extinct.

You made him
allowed him to terrorize every sailor of the open seas
then declared:

“No more.”

I love being reminded that You do things like this, Father!

There are some monsters terrorizing me
that I’d love for you to make extinct.

Pray this Lazaroo in saddened pity:

“…to those who…do not believe …”
(Titus 1:15)

Just how badly does refusing to believe in You

limit a person’s vision, Jesus?

I guess the most obvious is…

it shrinks all their hopes and dreams
into the space of a single human lifespan.

A person who doesn’t acknowledge that You see all and will judge all

is tempted to do whatever they can get away with

believes none of the wrongs done to them
will ever be made right.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her.”
(Esther 2:15)

There’s no way that happens, Jesus

without Your favor.

No matter how hard I try, how well I do

there will be somebody out there who doesn’t like me.

Certainly, I wish that wasn’t the case. I want everyone to accept me.

But there are plenty of people who don’t like You –
and You’re perfect.

So I guess I’ll be content

with sharing Your friends
and Your enemies.
