Pray this Lazaroo with honest self-assessment:

“For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are…”
(Colossians 2:5)

Would anyone who knows my life delight to see how disciplined I am, Jesus?

Thanks to You, I am disciplined!

…in some areas.

But to my shame, not in all.

My discipline in one part of my life

doesn’t excuse the lack of it in another, does it?

Help me, LORD Jesus!
Help me.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Gehazi said, ‘She has no son, and her husband is old.’ Then Elisha said, ‘Call her.’ So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. ‘About this time next year,’ Elisha said, ‘you will hold a son in your arms.’ ‘No, my lord!’ she objected. ‘Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!’”
(2 Kings 4:14-16)

Some of us can’t believe how good You’re willing to be to us, Jesus!

But You’ve already given Your life for me.

Why wouldn’t You do amazing things for me…

and through me!

Pray this Lazaroo with passionate intent:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.”
(Philippians 2:14-16)

If I want to shine like a star in this darkened world, Jesus

I’ve got to stop my grumbling and arguing.

The only chance I have to do that

is to hold firmly to Your Word of life!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.”
(1 Kings 3:4)

Big whoop.

Gibeon may have been the most important high place, Jesus
but Solomon was supposed to destroy all these high places –

not worship You on them.

May I never sin in the most important area of my life

in a badly mistaken notion that what I’m doing

honors You!

Friday, July 14, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.”
(Ephesians 3:13)

It’s hard not to be discouraged by suffering, Jesus

especially when it’s happening to me, personally.

But that wasn’t why Paul was suffering.

He was suffering for others!

O God.

Grow me up in my faith.
Give me Paul’s compassion for others!

Correction: That’s not Paul’s compassion.

That kind of compassion
comes straight from You

proven 2,000 years ago
on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy caution:

“…Joab went to the king and said, ‘What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
(2 Samuel 3:24-25)

That wasn’t what Joab feared, Jesus.

He was afraid Abner would replace him.

How many times do the people around me disguise their true intent?

Only You know.

Great God!

Protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’”
(Galatians 3:13)

You loved us that much, Jesus!

You love me that much.

Me.

Totally unworthy, sin-plagued, mistake-ridden me.

Incomprehensible.

At my best, I’m barely tolerable.
At my worst, I’m unlovable.

I’m at my best so seldom.
I’m at my worst too often.

And still, You love me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.”
(1 Samuel 3:1)

My guess, Jesus?

Most of us can identify.

In these days, there aren’t many visions.
Some, yes. But not many.

The question is: Why?

It’s certainly not because You have nothing to say.

Could it be because You’re waiting for us to obey Your Word in its written form

before there’s any reason to tell us something else?

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”
(2 Corinthians 4:5-6)

May my words and actions point people to You, Jesus

rather than to myself.

To exalt myself
is the work of Satan

which got him kicked out of heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with single-minded determination:

“This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
(1 Corinthians 4:1-2)

What have You entrusted to me, Jesus?

Whom have You entrusted to me?

Don’t allow me to overlook even one of Your assignments!

I long to have You look on me one day and say:

“You have proven faithful.”
