Pray this Lazaroo in simple, profound trust:

“Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.”
(Psalm 10:1-3)

In a heartbeat, Jesus

You could stop every evil person
from saying or doing anything wrong.

which would make us all nothing more than robots.

Instead, You’ve chosen to give us the freedom to choose You

or reject You.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin; Judah also stumbles with them. When they go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord, they will not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them. They are unfaithful to the Lord; they give birth to illegitimate children.”
(Hosea 5:5-7)

When we keep sinning – especially when we know better, Jesus –

You withdraw from us.

I can’t afford that, LORD!
I need You too desperately.

Please help me stay faithful to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable persistence:

“So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the Lord’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country.”
(Deuteronomy 1:43)

I know how Moses feels, Jesus

well…just a little.

I’ve shared warnings You’ve shared with me

only to have people ignore me

and even worse, ignore You!

But just when I start to climb up on my soap box of holier-than-thou

You remind me of times

when I’ve ignored Your warning.

Pray this Lazaroo in aware humility:

“The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:17)

Why do we get like that, Jesus?

It’s because of the generosity of Your blessings, isn’t it?

You load us up with good things

but instead of being humbly grateful to You
we act like we’ve done it ourselves.

Attractive people act like they self-designed their genes.
Talented people act like they gave themselves their abilities.

No wonder You have to take us down a notch!

Be warned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says’…”
(Ezekiel 3:11)

I will, Jesus.

All I have to do is quote to them the words in the Bible –

being certain the passage I quote
applies to them.

But when it comes to claiming a message is from You that is not in the Bible?

I’d better be 100 per cent certain
I’m not speaking out of my own imagination.

You will not allow such arrogance to go unpunished.

Pray this Lazaroo in full awareness of your True Source:

“The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:11)

Arrogance goes beyond pride, doesn’t it, Jesus?

A person may be Your humble follower
and still be gratefully proud –

knowing it’s You who do it all through them.

But arrogant people pound their chests and point to themselves.

They don’t believe they need Your help or anyone else’s.
They’re their own god.

But one day – when they stand before the true God –

they will be utterly humbled.

Too late.

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They are…arrogant…”
(Romans 1:29-30)

Arrogance is pretty hard to stomach, Jesus.

When I see it, I cringe.

Sadly, it almost always shows up in those You’ve blessed!

Instead of realizing their gifts, skills and triumphs are from You
they believe it’s all because of them.

They think it’s due to their hard work, their brilliance
their superiority over others

which sets them up for Your inevitable punishment

and their disgrace.

May I never, ever – ever!

follow in their footsteps.

Pray this Lazaroo with horror:

“So they stood up and were counted off – “
(2 Samuel 2:15)

Sometimes it’s good to stand up and be counted, Jesus.

But not this time.

Because of the arrogance of their commanding officers

every one of these soldiers was about to die.

When the cause is just, I’m willing to stand up and be counted

even if it costs me my life.

But when ego, blindness or stupidity are afoot

please give me the wisdom to stay seated.
