Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Eli’s sons were wicked men…”
(1 Samuel 2:12)

That’s every parent’s nightmare, Jesus!

Well…perhaps not every parent.
There may be evil parents who want evil children.

But even those parents
don’t want their children to be evil to them.

You haven’t given us control over our children.

If You had, our parents could have controlled us.

At best, parents have only example and influence.

But please, God! Hear the brokenhearted parent’s prayer:

Rescue and restore the children who stray.

Pray this Lazaroo with priorities straight:

“…for your sake.”
(2 Corinthians 2:10)

How much of what I say and do is “for Your sake,” Jesus?

How much of it is for the sake of others?

I can’t live this life You’ve entrusted to me solely for my own sake, can I?

Well…I can…but not with Your blessing and favor.

But neither can I live my life first for the sake of others.

Sometimes what others want conflicts

with living my life first and foremost

for You.

Wednesday, January 29, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo…with second thoughts:

“I’ve been told all about what you have done…”
(Ruth 2:11)

I wouldn’t mind that at all, Jesus

if You caused the good I’ve done to be told.

But there’s a whole lot I’ve done

that I fervently hope, pray and beg You
to keep between us.

I wish You hadn’t seen those things

but there’s no hiding from You.

Wait a minute…

Yes, there is!

Because of Your sacrifice on the cross

You remember my sins no more!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-thumping anticipation:

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.”
(1 Corinthians 2:9)

So…nothing I’ve experienced on this earth can prepare me for eternity with You, Jesus!

Nothing I’ve ever seen.
Nothing I’ve ever heard.
Nothing I’ve ever imagined.

Wow.

When You love someone, You go all out, don’t You?

You’ve already proved that on the cross.

I can’t picture heaven…

but until then…
I can’t help but try.

Plead with God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the LORD…was with the judge…”
(Judges 2:18)

Back in the day, Jesus…

Your judges were more than deciders of disputes.
They were leaders and warriors.

Today, our judges mostly sit behind big, imposing desks

listen to each side make its case and make rulings.

Even so…

oh, how we need You to be with our judges!

Some of them take the bench with hidden evil intent.

Block them! Remove them!

Even better, Great God, Judge of All:

Change them.

Be dumbfounded as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they are…faithless…”
(Romans 1:31)

That’s an insupportable state to be in, Jesus.

To have no faith in You is not only unintelligent.

It’s foolish.
It’s also blind, dumb, deaf, unfeeling, tasteless.
It’s unthinking and unthinkable.
It’s stubborn, hardhearted, hardheaded, mulish.

And those are their best traits.

A person who has no faith in You is giving up everything worthwhile

in exchange for everything that’s worthless.

A faithless man or woman can’t be followed, can’t be believed

can’t be trusted.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“The LORD has surely given the whole land into our hands…”
(Joshua 2:24)

That’s how good You Are, Jesus!

You gave them all they could handle
plus a little more.

As I survey my own landscape

I’d say You’ve done the same for me
with emphasis on the, “plus a little more.” 😉

Oh, sure.

Sometimes, I think I want more
but I’m learning – sometimes the hard way:

I’m still trying to figure out how to handle
what I’ve already got.

Pray this Lazaroo in total awe:

“This man was handed over to you by God’s…foreknowledge…”
(Acts 2:23)

Peter was talking to the Jews about You, Jesus!

Before You spoke the universe into existence
before You created the heavens and the earth
before You created human beings in Your own Image
before You chose a people out of every nation on earth

You knew You would have to come to earth as one of us

and give Your life on the cross to pay for our sins.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“I will give it to them…”
(Jeremiah 1:39)

You promised to give Your people the land of Canaan, Jesus.

You were as good as Your Word.

Of course, it was the children of those who left Egypt who got to enter the Promised Land.

Those who rebelled against You in the desert missed it.

Out of the two million or so adults who began that journey

exactly two completed it.

I beg You:
Finish what You started in me!
