Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…all generations will call me blessed.”
(Luke 1:48)

Your mother was right, Jesus.

All generations have called her blessed!

She gave birth to the One who gave life to her!

She got to see You grow up – literally, the perfect child.
She saw You work miracles, teach truth, become famous.

But Simeon’s prophecy that a sword would pierce her soul

also came true when she saw You crucified.

May I never forget that on this earth

pain accompanies blessing.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep appreciation:

“…sufficient for him.”
(2 Corinthians 2:6)

Everything You do for me is sufficient, Jesus!

…not to mention unique.

What’s sufficient for me may not be for someone else.

Thank You for not giving me the one-size-fits-all treatment!

The way You reward me is different from what You do for everyone else.

So is the way You correct me.

But please help me remember that for others, it may be too much…too little…

…or need to be something else entirely.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They will occupy the fields…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

That’s quite a promise, Jesus

or, depending on my perspective

quite a curse.

It’s stunning…humbling…to learn that You’ve given me someone else’s possessions

also stunning…humbling…to think You might give mine to someone else.

That goes for opportunities too, doesn’t it?

When You call me to do something
how many others first turned You down?

If I fail to obey Your calling
who will You raise up instead, to take my place?
