Pray this Lazaroo in heart-melting gratitude::

“…the incomparable riches of his grace expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
(Ephesians 2:7)

How do I know I’m the recipient of Your grace, Jesus?

Well…I know it by faith.

You said if I declare with my mouth that You are LORD and believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead

I’ll be saved.

But the irrefutable evidence right here and right now

is the incomparable, wholly undeserved kindness You are showing me!

Keep your eyes wide open as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Abner son of Ner, together with the men of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, left Mahanaim and went to Gibeon.”
(2 Samuel 2:12)

The problem wasn’t with Abner’s battle plan, Jesus.

The thing that was about to get his army defeated and him killed

was that he was backing the wrong king.

That’s the only thing that can get the people I love defeated and me killed, Father

it we cave in to Satan’s temptation
and back the wrong king.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…those esteemed as pillars…gave me…the right hand of fellowship…”
(Galatians 2:9)

It feels good when someone important accepts me, Jesus.

Although I sometimes forget:
in You, everyone’s important

which means that if one of Your unesteemed children is nice to me

I should be just as happy.

I wonder…

will there come a day when I’m more about accepting others
than being accepted?

Might be a sign of maturity, huh?

Might be a sign
of becoming more like You.

Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“The LORD sends poverty and wealth…”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

A lot of people don’t want to hear that, Jesus

…at least, not the first part.

They like the idea of You as the Giver of wealth, prosperity, plenty

they don’t much care for any reference to You
as the Giver of poverty, hardship, want.

So why do both come from You?

Probably because – in Your wisdom –
everything comes from You

the things we like
and the things we don’t.
