Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“In his anger against Israel the LORD gave them into the hands of raiders who plundered them.”
(Judges 2:14)

I don’t want that, Jesus.

It’s bad enough when You have to take me to the woodshed.

But I’d far rather be in Your hands
than in the clutches of others.

It’s not that Your punishment is weak.

It isn’t.

But as much as Your discipline hurts, it’s saturated with mercy

never even close to as much
as I deserve.

Be forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They have become filled with every kind of…greed…”
(Romans 1:29)

So how many kinds of greed are there, Jesus?

There’s the kind that wants more than my share
out of fear that the day may come when I won’t have enough.

There’s the kind that takes what belongs to others
because I want to have more than them.

There’s the kind that piles it up
because having that much makes me feel more important

than I really am.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“As for anyone who is in the house with you…”
(Joshua 2:19)

They’re a greater responsibility, aren’t they, Jesus?

More than people at work, or on the street
more than acquaintances or friends.

But what can I do?

If they’re young, I have some control
though not as much as I think.

But the older they are, the less my influence.

The day comes when the only true impact I have on them
is my sincere, consistent, Godly example.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all people.’”
(Acts 2:17)

I sure hope these are the last days, Jesus

because we desperately need You
to pour out Your Spirit on all people!

including this person.

No, I don’t deserve You to do that for me.

You know that.

But I would love it, if in Your mercy, You would.

So would the people who live and work around me. 😉
