 Pray this Lazaroo in flabbergasted amazement: 

“Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem…”
(Ruth 2:4)

That was no accident, Jesus.

But, then…nothing is.

You’ve given us free will

but while we’re all out here doing what we think we desire
You keep right on orchestrating the whole shebang.

Only You could pull this off –

allowing each of the seven billion people on this planet
to choose our own path

while insuring that every step brings us that much closer

to the exact fulfillment of Your sovereign will.

 Pray this Lazaroo overcome with gratitude: 

“Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
(1 Corinthians 1:31)

Good advice, Jesus –

because everything I have comes from You.

Everything I’ve accomplished has been made possible by You:

You’re the one who breathed in me the breath of life.
Every skill, talent and ability I possess is a gift from You.

When an opportunity arises, You’re the one who creates it.

When the time is right to seize it
You, Holy Spirit, are the one who gives me the nudge.

 Pray this Lazaroo with renewed dedication: 

“They forsook the LORD…”
(Judges 2:12)

How could anyone forsake the one who had never forsaken them, Jesus?

Did they take You for granted?

That’s so easy to do.

I forget that every breath I draw is a gift from You.
It slips my mind that every blessing I enjoy comes from Your hand.

There’s no way to count the times You rescued me
from dangers of which I was totally unaware.

May I stay true to You…

to the end.

 Pray this Lazaroo with a broken heart: 

“God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.”
(Romans 1:26-27)

Some people think You have nothing to say about homosexuality in the New Testament, Jesus.

I guess they haven’t read this passage.
