Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The Israelites are stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. How then can the Lord pasture them like lambs in a meadow?”
(Hosea 4:16)

I don’t want to be like that stubborn heifer Jesus –

a young female cow that hasn’t yet borne a calf –

who stops when You say “Go!”
who runs away when You say, “Come!”
who rejects Your chosen path.

Make me as responsive and obedient to You

as the most attentive, compliant, eager-to-please lamb!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…turning neither to the right nor to the left…”
(2 Samuel 2:19)

That can be a wonderful trait, Jesus

when I’m headed in the right direction.

No detours. No distractions. No time outs.

Straight for the righteous goal.

But it’s a terrible quality when I’m rushing down the wrong path

stubbornly refusing to listen to anyone
who warns me of the danger.

God grant me the wisdom to know when to listen

and when to plug my ears.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“This is a sign to them…”
(Philippians 1:28)

I’m pretty adamant about other people seeing the signs, Jesus

but how am I doing with that?

Just because I see an obvious sign others are missing

doesn’t mean I’m not missing a sign You’re giving me.

I do want to help others see the way

but it’s a little hard to keep them from stumbling
when I’m flat on my face.

Please keep me alert, perceptive, astute, engaged

and humble.
