Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…a temple had not yet been built for the Name of the Lord. Solomon showed his love for the Lord by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.”
(1 Kings 3:2-3)

Solomon had an excuse for doing wrong, Jesus.

There was no temple.

But he didn’t have to go to one of those high places You so detested!

Satan will always provide me with an excuse to do wrong.

But to do wrong
there is no acceptable excuse.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
(1 Peter 2:5)

What are “spiritual sacrifices,” Jesus?

They have to be something I do – or don’t do –

with my own spirit.

What does my spirit want that isn’t best for my relationship with You?

I’ll give that up.

What does my spirit not want to do, that You desire?

That…I will do.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“You weep and wail because [the LORD] no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.”
(Malachi 2:13)

When You refuse to look with favor on what I’m offering You, Jesus

I need to quit crying and start changing my ways.

Show me, LORD!

Are my tithes and offerings acceptable to You?
Are my attempts to serve You bringing You pleasure?

If not, please make it clear to me:

Where did I take a wrong turn?
