Pray this Lazaroo in grateful trust:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7-8)

We want to focus on what we think are the positives, don’t we, Jesus?

But there’s a time for

tearing
silence
hate
war

The key is to look to You for our direction

at all times.

Pray this Lazaroo in peace-filled trust:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…”
(Philippians 2:3)

This is so opposite of the world I live in, Jesus.

What an opportunity in this darkness
to allow Your Light to shine!

It begins with total trust in You, doesn’t it?

If I know You’re taking care of me every step of the way
I’m freed from thinking about myself all the time

and able to focus on blessing others.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“I have promised to bring you up out of your misery…”
(Exodus 3:17)

I’m not in misery all the time, Jesus…

but when I’m in it…oh, do I want to get out of it!

The thing is, I don’t have the control I like to think I have.

When I’m really hurting, I can’t think clearly.
Sometimes what I try to stop the pain

makes it worse.

I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You!

Pray this Lazaroo with a pure heart:

“…he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.”
(Luke 1:51)

Wow. Hidden pride.

Thank You for uncovering this one for me, Jesus.

Humble on the outside…

prideful on the inside.

Scuffing my toe in the dirt…aw, shucks…it wasn’t much…

while secretly thinking all the time: “I’m hot stuff!”

Seriously? I should know better. You sure do!

People may praise me for my accomplishments
but they’re not mine, are they?

They’re Yours.

Without You…I’m nothing.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…they sang to the LORD: ‘He is good…’”
(Ezra 3:11)

Yes, You Are, Jesus!

You Are Good
all the time.

You’ve always been Good.
Good You’ll always be.

You’re the very definition of good.

Whatever You do is good.
Whatever You say is good.
All Your thoughts are good.

You shower me with good things – more than I can count.

Your punishment of evil is good.

When You discipline me
that too is good

because it’s…
for my good.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…your backsliding will rebuke you.”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Has it ever, Jesus!

Has it ever.

When I truly visualize everything I’ve lost

I drop to my knees…then to my face…
in anguish.

How stupid! How foolish! How unimaginably dense, blind, shortsighted!

But I’d be wise not to spend any more time beating myself up.

I need every ounce of energy left in my body
to make certain from this moment forward

I stay in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.”
(Luke 1:48)

Historians might wonder why Mary was chosen to be Your mother, Jesus

but Mary didn’t.

She immediately knew: It was her humble state.

Did that mean she was poor?
In part, yes.

But it was so much more.

She didn’t dip in and out of humility as she followed You.
That was her state – who she was all the time.

And so it must be mine.
