Saturday, February 29, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…comes not from the Father…”
(1 John 2:16)

I don’t want anything that doesn’t come from You, Jesus!

Everything good comes from You, Father.
If it’s good, it’s from You.

Everything bad comes from the evil one.
If it’s bad, it’s from Satan.

Of course, You’re the Maker of Everything.

Satan can create nothing.

He can misuse, abuse and pervert what You’ve created

but only You can create something out of nothing.

Of all Satan’s counterfeits

I want nothing.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty…”
(Isaiah 2:12)

You have a day in store for me, too, Jesus –

but not that day! Please, not that day!

I don’t think there’s any pride in me, any sense of loftiness…

but if there is, eradicate it! Stomp it out! Kill it!

I know You hate it, can’t tolerate it.

So do I.

All I possess or any good I’ve done

is from You.

Thursday, February 27, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt trust:

“Their condemnation has long been hanging over them…”
(2 Peter 2:3)

What a terrifying place to be in, Jesus!

…for those who are spiritually aware.

Of course, if I’m spiritually aware, I won’t land in such a place.

It’s only when I’m deaf, blind and dumb to spiritual reality

that I repeatedly make the kinds of decisions
that destine me for condemnation.

O God, my Redeemer and Protector:

May I ever remain
in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Until the day breaks and the shadows flee…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

What a beautiful way to say it, Jesus!

“Until the day breaks…”
means Solomon’s wife desires to be loved all night long

“…and the shadows flee”
means she longs to be loved until high noon.

Me too, LORD! Me too!

And You do –

all day and all night
month after month
year after year

my whole life long until I depart this earth

to exult in Your love forever!

Pray this Lazaroo with single minded intent:

“…rid yourselves of all malice…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Is there any malice in me, Jesus? Even a tiny shred of it?

If so, expunge every hint of it from every shadow and molecule
of my heart, mind, soul, emotions, body and being!

I know what it is to be the victim of malice.

It’s hell on earth.

No matter what anyone has said or done to me

I absolutely refuse to be guilty of a single
malicious thought, word or deed.

Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“…they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:19)

Solomon’s nervous about what his heirs are going to do after he’s gone, Jesus.

I’m sure my parents had some of those same thoughts about me.
Maybe I’ll feel the same toward my kids!

But what matters isn’t the stuff I leave behind, is it?

It’s the quality of my children’s 1on1 relationship

with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed recognition:

“Are [the rich]…not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?”
(James 2:6-7)

You hate it when I fawn on the rich, Jesus –

when I favor them over the poor.

It’s so easy to be so awed by a profane person’s apparent success

that I forget theirs is not an example worth following.

Of course, there are good rich people, too.

But may I honor them for their goodness

not for their wealth.

Pray this Lazaroo with purified purpose:

Let love and faithfulness never leave you…Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.”
(Proverbs 3:3-4)

I need Your favor, Jesus. Desperately.

Without it, I won’t survive, let alone thrive.

I don’t know how others make it without a deep, daily, moment-by-moment 1on1 relationship with You

but I know I can’t.

Do I want a good reputation among others? Yes.

But the only approval I absolutely have to have

is Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown adoration:

“…every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.”
(Hebrews 3:4)

We see, Jesus…

but we don’t see far enough.

I can tell when someone does something good –

delivers a speech
wins a race
cares for the vulnerable
accomplishes a difficult task
sets a record
paints a masterpiece
writes a book
sings a song
produces a show or a movie.

But do I remember that You’re the one who gave them those awesome, transformative gifts?
