Pray this Lazaroo in humble surrender:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.”
(1 Timothy 3:1,6)

This is good advice for overseers, Jesus.

It’s also an eye-opening insight into what happened with Satan.

You entrusted him with amazing gifts
but he deliberately ignored the fact

that You were the one
who gave them to him.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles…”
(Jonah 3:7)

That’s what kings do, don’t they, Jesus?

They issue decrees.
They make sweeping statements that become the laws of the land.

They rely on a cadre of experts who advise them
or rubber stamp whatever they say.

I’m no such king.

I’ve never issued a decree –
at least not one anyone paid much attention to.

But I do have one request:

Direct the decrees of people in power
who affect the lives of those I love.

Accept the honor, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good…”
(Titus 2:6-7)

I can’t just tell them how to behave, can I, Jesus?

I’ve got to show them what it looks like.

Of course, it’s a whole lot easier to point the way
than to lead the way.

But that’s only fair.

Because it’s a lot harder for them to follow my advice
than to nod with an indulgent smile
pretending to agree.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there?”
(Amos 3:5)

No, Jesus.

Birds aren’t that stupid.

But we Your people sometimes are.

Even though You’ve warned us repeatedly of the dangers of sin
we keep swooping down into Satan’s traps.

Your Word is full of advice, cautions, horrific accounts

but it’s as though we ignore all the signs:

STOP!
DANGER!
BRIDGE OUT!

because we think we know better than do You.

Pray this Lazaroo in no-holds-barred surrender:

“…she asked for nothing other than what Hegai…suggested.”
(Esther 2:15)

It’s hard to get there, Jesus…

…asking for nothing

other than what somebody who knows recommends.

The problem is…
I think I know.

The even greater problem is –

although this isn’t always the case –

sometimes I’m right and the experienced person is wrong.

So when do I take advice
and when do I ignore it?

How do I discern between wisdom
and egotism?

You know.
Please let me in on it.
