Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:11)

That statement probably had more punch then than it does now, Jesus.

These days, we’ve got a whole lot of biological dads running around
who don’t have the first clue what it means to be a father –

or if they know –

can’t quit their drinking, drugs and video games
long enough to be what Paul’s talking about.

O God!

Save our kids!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…at his left hand: Ethan son of Kishi…”
(1 Chronicles 6:44)

Most people want a right hand man or woman, Jesus

someone who will always be there to help them
with whatever they ask them to do.

A left hand man or woman might even be more valuable to a right-handed leader

since they need the most help on their weak side. đŸ˜‰

That’s what I long to be to You, Jesus:

Wherever You need me
there I’ll be.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…and through him to reconcile to himself all…things in heaven…”
(Colossians 1:20)

Huge task, Jesus…

though not as big as it once was.

There was that war in heaven where – along with Satan – You had to expel one-third of Your angels

sending them to earth.

Obviously, You’ve given them the gift of free will, too.

At times, though, it becomes a curse, doesn’t it?
when I use it to rebel against You.

When I do, LORD…

Please.
Quickly.

Reconcile me.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam…”
(2 Kings 3:3)

Joram was a good guy in a lot of ways, Jesus…

did some commendable things.

But for all that, he blew it where it most counted.

Half a loaf isn’t always better than none
when the whole loaf is laced with poison.

You don’t grade on the curve
You grade on the heart.

What do You see when You look into my heart, Father?

You see Your Son.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes-open humility:

“…in my absence…”
(Philippians 1:27)

An awful lot happens in my absence, Jesus.

Ha! Almost everything does!
Much of it good…much not.

Either way, it’s humbling –

to witness how many wonderful things take place
without my help

to learn how many horrible things occur
behind my back.

In my own strength

I don’t have the power to make anything happen, do I?
nor can I prevent the bad from taking place.

Only You, LORD, only You.

Only You.
