Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth.”
(Jonah 3:7-8)

First of all, that’s downright impressive, Jesus.

I’ve never heard of covering animals with sackcloth.
None of the people’s sins was the animals’ fault!

Clearly, this king was over-the-top humbling himself before You.

No wonder You relented!

That’s an example I need to keep in mind.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“He has raised up a horn of salvation for us…to remember his holy covenant, the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.”
(Luke 1:69, 73-75)

You keep Your promises, Jesus –

not just some of the time –

everytime.

which means –

though you have not yet kept Your greatest promises –

You most certainly will.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt dedication:

“The hand of the Lord was on me there, and he said to me, ‘Get up and go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you.’ So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the Lord was standing there…and I fell facedown.”
(Ezekiel 3:22-23)

Even though I can’t see it or feel it, Jesus

I believe Your hand is on me.

Certainly, You speak to me each day through Your Word!

So before You…I fall facedown.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.”
(1 Timothy 2:14)

In the midst of my heated discussions it’s easy to forget, Jesus:

there can be collateral damage.

I may be able to walk away from an argument no worse for the wear.

But what about the other person?
What about those listening in?
What about those who hear about it?

Yup.

Gotta stop quarreling with other Christians about words.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value…”
(2 Timothy 2:14)

Okay, Jesus.

Quarreling about words is one.

How many other things I may be doing…or Satan is tempting me to do…

are of no value?

Please show me!

How dare I squander the moments, hours and days

of this precious life You’ve given me?

May I regard my time on this earth as sacred as You do

and act accordingly.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ before God.”
(2 Corinthians 3:3-4)

That’s the letter of recommendation I desire, Jesus!

I’m not asking for a piece of paper.

All I need to see

is that through me

You continue to transform lives!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“Warn them before God against quarreling about words…”
(2 Timothy 2:14)

Why do we do that, Jesus?

Why do we fight and argue and quarrel at all?

Afterwards, it doesn’t make any of us feel good.

It has the potential to damage relationships.

Besides, when I quarrel with another person about some key word in the Bible

all I do is give the enemy of my soul

something else to dissuade the lost

from putting their trust in You.
