Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him…”
(3 John 1:12)

It’s nice to hear how good someone is, Jesus

even better to discover it firsthand.

Just wondering…

what’s my reputation?
what do people experience with me firsthand?

I hope they speak well of me!

But whether they do or don’t

all that really matters is what You think of me.

Correction:

Not “think.”

Know.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Man or woman, Jesus…

do all the people of my town know that about me?

If so, please remind me not to become complacent.
Help me keep living up to my reputation!

If my character is noble but they don’t know

all that matters is that You know.

If my character is not noble, then whether or not they know

You know.

I repent!

Please help me become
everything You’ve created me to be!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If you have any…compassion…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Some people don’t, Jesus –

at least not that I can tell.

Of course, maybe they have it, but I’m not seeing it.

I might be expecting them to show it in one way
while they’re showing it in another.

Maybe I have such a focused agenda, such strong opinions

that I’m totally blind
to the different expressions of compassion in others

…as they may be to mine.

But You see.

That’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“…reverent in the way they live…”
(Titus 2:3)

It’s good for me to be reverent on the inside, Jesus

to mean well
have good intentions.

But it can’t stop there, can it?

I’ve got to follow through.

What’s in my heart

has to show on the outside.

Nobody but You is able to see what I meant to say or do.

They’re stuck with what I actually said and did.

As far as they’re concerned?

That’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“The leader of the families of the Merarite clans was Zuriel son of Abihail…”
(Numbers 3:35)

Out of three-quarters of a million words in the Bible, Jesus

this is the only time Zuriel’s name is mentioned.

Once upon a time he was a key leader.

And then his time was through.
Someone else led the Merarite clans.

While it was his turn, did he lead them well?

We don’t know.
But You do.

And that

is all that matters.
