Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…they realized they were naked; so they sowed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.”
(Genesis 3:7)

That’s what happens every time I sin, Jesus.

First the shame
then the cover-up.

Sin must be covered

because it’s so foul!

I could attempt to cover my sin

with lies, excuses, misdirection
trying to change the subject –

all for naught.

The only way sin can ever be covered

is by sincere repentance
trusting in Your shed blood on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“So I have caused you to be…humiliated…”
(Malachi 2:9)

No one can do a better job of that than You, Jesus.

When others try to humiliate me, they fail –
unless they have Your go-ahead.

They don’t know me well enough to thoroughly humiliate me.

But You do.

If I mistake Your blessings to suppose that I’m better than everyone else

You can diminish me to a speck of dirt
faster than I can pound my chest a second time.

Pray this Lazaroo in sober contemplation:

“…their slaves will plunder them.”
(Zechariah 2:9)

Well, now…

wouldn’t that be a stunning comeuppance, Jesus!

But it’s happened.

And it’ll happen again.

Those I’ve ruled over

can absolutely end up ruling over me.

The only way to avoid that is to be the kind of person You want me to be

when I’m on top.

At the very least, I’ll be sowing the kind of good seed I’ll long to reap

if I ever end up on bottom.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“I struck all the work of your hands with…mildew…”
(Haggai 2:17)

I hate mildew, Jesus –

that smelly, fungal invasion that leaches onto
my clothing, leather, paper – even the ceilings, walls and floors
of my home.

Mildew forms in dank, dark places, hidden away from fresh air and sunlight.

O God! Bring the fresh air of Your Word into my life.

And may the cleansing radiance of Your sun shine

…on every pocket of infestation
that needs to be eradicated.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:
